The city of Lawrenceburg is set to benefit from a substantial multi-year matching grant totaling $120,000, aimed at facilitating the Levitt AMP Downtown Lawrenceburg Music Series through the year 2028. This funding, bestowed by the Levitt Foundation in collaboration with the Tennessee Entertainment Commission, will enable the hosting of free outdoor concerts in the years 2026, 2027, and 2028.
The Levitt AMP initiative is designed to provide matching funds to various communities, encouraging them to activate public spaces by offering between seven to ten free concerts annually. This series aims to bolster community identity, enhance underutilized public areas, and broaden access to live music for all residents.
This grant is a testament to the ongoing commitment to cultivate a vibrant downtown area where both locals and visitors can partake in cultural programming, community events, and consistent entertainment. Leaders in Downtown Lawrenceburg have expressed that this funding will play a crucial role in sustaining the district’s growth and advancing its long-term vision of creating a lively and inclusive gathering space.
This grant is part of a broader collaboration between the Levitt Foundation and the Tennessee Entertainment Commission, with additional backing from the Tennessee Department of Economic & Community Development and the Tennessee Department of Tourist Development. In total, six communities throughout Tennessee will receive similar multi-year grants, collectively resulting in up to 180 free concerts across the state over the next three years.
As part of a nationwide initiative, the Levitt Foundation plans to allocate over $7 million to various grantees across the country to support free outdoor music series. These concerts will showcase a diverse array of artists and musical genres, featuring everything from award-winning performers to emerging talents in pop, rock, folk, world music, country, jazz, Latin, children’s programming, blues, and beyond.
The Levitt AMP program specifically targets towns and cities with populations under 250,000, placing a strong emphasis on fostering community pride, enhancing public spaces, and creating welcoming environments for all. As a recognized Tennessee Main Street community, Downtown Lawrenceburg remains dedicated to supporting small businesses, preserving its historic character, engaging in creative placemaking, and offering year-round programming that enriches the cultural and economic landscape of Lawrence County.
