The Southern Cultural Heritage Center’s fall outdoor concert series is back for a fourth year.

The program kicks off Friday with Celtic folk music by Nick and Julia Blake and food by Southern Sisters Cafe.

“It’s very laid back,” said Maggie Nasif, who attended last year. “People sit at picnic tables or on blankets. There are young mothers with children and grandparents with grandchildren.” And the food is good, too, she said.

“There is absolutely nothing I don’t like about it,” said attendee Dee Hyland. “I think it is a wonderful idea, and it’s so much fun to see people and listen to the music. There aren’t enough adjectives to describe how much I enjoy going.”

So far, 35 people have signed up for Friday’s concert, said SCHC executive director Annette Kirklin, at which “we will be making a big, surprise announcement.”

Last year, attendance for all four concerts was around 800, she said. Participants may listen to the concerts for free, but lunch is $9.
