Swinging in the Street with the Salisbury Swing Band
2026-05-09 19:00 - 21:00 | Historic 1852 Isaiah Snuggs House, 112 N. Third Street, Albemarle, NC, 28001, United States
The Stanly County Historical Society invites the community to step back in time for an evening dedicated to the sweeping brass and infectious rhythms of the 1940s. During an era defined by the challenges of World War II, big band swing served as much more than entertainment; it was the heartbeat of American resilience and a primary source of national pride. This music provided a sense of unity and hope that sustained the “Greatest Generation” both at home and abroad, becoming a symbol of the very freedom they sought to protect. By hosting the Salisbury Swing Band on the lawn of the Historic 1852 Isaiah Snuggs House, we honor this vital chapter of our cultural heritage and the enduring spirit of that transformative decade.
The performance begins at 7:00 PM, and we encourage guests to bring lawn chairs to set up in the street or within the parking lot located between the Stanly County Public Library and Uwharrie Brewing. As this event takes place within the Downtown Social District, those enjoying local refreshments are reminded to request their beverages in an official Social District Cup. This concert is free to the public, offering a unique opportunity to gather as a community and celebrate the timeless music that once rallied a nation.
