Middlesboro, KY

In the heart of Appalachia, the Levitt AMP Middlesboro Music Series, presented by Middlesboro Main Street, has reclaimed a local gathering space and created a regional music destination.

Since 2015, the Levitt AMP Middlesboro Music Series, presented by Middlesboro Main Street, has brought new life and meaning to a once vacant gravel lot where a bustling Woolworth’s department store and soda fountain once stood. Powered by volunteers, a.k.a. “Levittones,” the series has transformed this space into a vibrant, arts-filled destination for music and community, complete with a volunteer-installed lawn, donated permanent stage, and wall mural created by a local artist. The town of roughly 10,000 has witnessed the revitalization of the local farmers market, as well as shops and restaurants during the concert season. The 2026-2028 series is building upon this momentum, augmenting the community-driven revitalization of Middlesboro’s downtown, positioning the series for a wider impact through robust partnerships with local and regional nonprofits.
