Summer Concerts at the Jones House
The popular weekly concert series on the Jones House lawn runs weekly from June through August. Showcasing local and regional acts, the lineup features a variety of musical genres that will appeal to all types of music fans - bluegrass, oldtime, jazz, folk, songwriters, and more.
Music begins at 5:30 PM. Concerts are free and open to the public, and they are held rain or shine. Guests are encouraged to bring their own chairs or blankets to enjoy the music from the lawn. Alcoholic beverages are permitted if patrons are of legal age, but no open containers are allowed beyond the Jones House property.

His expressive use of color and playful visual language create works that are both accessible and thought-provoking.

Her pieces balance lightheartedness with depth, inviting viewers into worlds that feel both familiar and exotic – from bucolic landscapes to fanciful snapshots of the human experience.

Join us in Downtown Boone, as the community and visitors are invited to stop by downtown merchants for a family-friendly trick-or-treating event. The central part of King Street will be closed to accommodate trick-or-treaters and to make room for some surprise guests and performances!
Spooky music, larger than life inflatables, and of course plenty of Halloween costumes and treats will all be a part of the evening's festivities. Plus, the annual costume contest will take place on the street at 5pm and the Jones House will host community organizations on the lawn and a haunted house.
