A full summer of live music is set to return to downtown Mansfield as Downtown Mansfield, Inc. has announced the 2026 lineup for its popular Final Friday Concert Series at The Brickyard.
From late May through September, the open-air venue will again serve as a gathering place for music, food, and community, with each event featuring three live performances and a steady flow of visitors filling the heart of downtown.
A Season Built Around Music and Momentum
The series will run on the last Friday of each month, beginning May 29 and continuing through September 25. Each evening starts at 5:30 PM and typically carries through to about 10:30 PM, offering a full night of entertainment in a relaxed, accessible setting.
The format remains consistent and familiar. Three acts take the stage each night, creating a layered lineup that moves from early evening sets into a headlining performance as the night progresses. Food trucks and refreshments will be available on site, reinforcing the event’s role as both a concert and a social destination. All of this will take place against the backdrop of a new and vibrant look for Main Street.
