Y’ALL AT DIX PARK

by Jessie Ammons

I’ve always loved the idea of grass under my feet when I listen to music. It’s something that goes along with a really cool vibe, created by trees and grass and shade. … What’s exciting about this (series) to me, though, is that for many years, the (Dix Park) property was a plantation. For another hundred or so years, it
became the mental hospital. I think what we’re looking at now is a hundred-some years of it becoming a park. This is the first music series in this park. The people who go to this and play this are really going to be a part of the next hundred years of exciting things that will happen in this space.”
  –Dave Rose

Y’all at Dix Park will bring local bands, local food trucks, and local beer to Dix Park three times throughout the summer, beginning this month: June 24, July 22, and August 26, 4 – 10 p.m. Think of it as “a family friendly field day,” says organizer Dave Rose, owner of Deep South Entertainment. “Potato sack races, that sort of thing. Picnics welcome. Blankets welcome.”
