DBMC Announces ON THE AVE: SETS IN THE WEST, New 4-Week Free Concert Series

DELRAY BEACH, Fla. - April 8, 2015 - PRLog -- Delray Beach Marketing Cooperative presents

ON THE AVE: SETS IN THE WEST

May On The Ave event takes shape as a 4-week free concert series

(Delray Beach, FL - April 8, 2015)  This May the best sets will definitely be in the West as the Delray Beach Marketing Cooperative brings you On The Ave: Sets in the West, on the SW 5th Plaza Stage. Every Thursday this month from 6pm to 9pm will be a free concert accompanied with activities, a Kid’s Corner, and food tents.

On The Ave has traditionally been held on a single evening, several times a year, on various avenues in town. “I think the change in format offers some real advantages,” says Stephanie Immelman, Executive Director of the Delray Beach Marketing Cooperative.

The free concert series provides entertainment all month as opposed to one night, it renders an alternative to events that close the streets, which causes less disruption to traffic, but most importantly it spotlights this up and coming part of town. With a number of new developments and businesses popping up, including Vintage Tap and the new Fairfield Inn, this area is sure to become the new hot spot.

Every Thursday will feature a different top-notch band, wood fired pizza, Orange Leaf and activities for the kids. May 14th includes a special addition with a meet and greet with NBA All Stars Otis Birdsong and Michael Ray. On The Ave: Sets in the West is good excuse to enjoy an evening out every Thursday in May.
