Bailey Beats
Live Music in the Park
| Settle in on the upper lawn and soak up the magic that is live music with Bailey Beats, a free outdoor series featuring local musicians in Bailey Park. |
Event Highlights
Bailey Beats, the iQ’s newest Signature Series, is bringing live music to Bailey Park this season from May through October. Bailey Beats features a lineup of North Carolina-based musicians performing from the Bailey Park stage with one of the best views of downtown as their backdrop. Come solo, invite friends, or bring your kids along. All events in the series are family friendly!
Bailey Beats concerts are always free, and food and drinks will be available for purchase in the park (because live music is better with refreshments). Bring a blanket or lawn chair (and maybe wear your dancing shoes, too) and settle in for the live show. You won’t want to miss the variety of talent taking the stage!
Event Details
There’s no better combination than live music and Bailey Park! To make sure everyone can comfortably enjoy the performance, please plan to bring a blanket to sit on or a low-backed folding chair. Music-loving dogs are welcome, but they must remain leashed for the duration of the event.
Food and Beverage Vendors
Food and drink vendors will be at all Bailey Beats events. You’re welcome to bring your own food to the park, or you can purchase food from a food truck or one of your favorite iQ restaurants during the event. Drinks from Incendiary Brewing will be available for purchase near Bailey Park’s food truck court. Outside alcohol is prohibited.
Event Time
Each Bailey Beats concert will be held from 5-7 p.m.
Location
Bailey Beats takes place in Bailey Park, 445 Patterson Ave. Winston-Salem, NC
Weather Plan
If rain decides to ruin the live show, an announcement will be made on social media by 4 p.m. on the day of the event.
