Unfortunately, tomorrow (August 28th, 2026) evening’s Footloose on the Neuse concert has been cancelled due to the forecasted inclement weather. With flood warnings issued by the National Weather Service and the potential for flooding at Union Point Park, we believe cancelling tomorrow’s concert is the right decision.

The good news: We are already working to reschedule this concert for later this season!

We know everyone was looking forward to another great night of music at Union Point Park, and we appreciate your understanding. Stay tuned - we’ll share a new date as soon as details are finalized!
