With local talent and vendors that don't have to travel far, we're 🤞🏻 crossing our fingers that the predicted rain and storms keep on movin' away from Downtown, but come prepared just in case! 🌂

🏍 Next week is the Rally Rush Motorcycle Show and then final TNL of the season!

⚠️When the radar looks like this, we don’t mess around.⚠️

We’ll host the 🏍️Rally Rush Motorcycle Show at Thursday Night Live 2026🏍️ on August 13 instead of during a thunder storm.

Stay safe and dry everyone! ⛈️

🌧️ Mother Nature wins this round... but Rally Rush is just shifting gears! 🏍️⚡

After carefully monitoring today's forecast, we've made the difficult decision to cancel tonight's Thursday Night Live due to the predicted rain and thunderstorms.

Current forecasts show storms moving into the area around 4:00 PM, which is when our vendors, food trucks, band, and volunteers begin setting up. With the safety of our community, performers, vendors, and all of the band equipment in mind, we feel this is the best decision for everyone involved.

💥 The good news? Rally Rush isn't canceled—it's just taking a pit stop!

🏍️ Rally Rush & the Motorcycle Show have officially been moved to Thursday, August 13! This has been our designated rain makeup date since the beginning of the season, and we're excited to keep the engines roaring on a new night.

Mark your calendars and plan to join us on August 13 from 6:00–9:00 PM at Foundation Plaza for an evening filled with incredible motorcycles, great music, delicious food trucks, local vendors, and an amazing community atmosphere!

While we're disappointed we won't get to see everyone tonight, we know it was the right decision. Thank you for your understanding, your support, and for helping make Thursday Night Live such a special tradition in our community.

See you next week August 6th for Healthcare Night!
