About 200 people took advantage of the evening breeze blowing off Battery Creek on Saturday, Aug. 26, while listening and dancing to the music of Dwight Carrier and Black Cat Zydeco Band during Street Music on Paris Avenue in Port Royal

It didn’t take but a skinny minute before people got up and started dancing, including Elisha Brinsen and her grandchildren. As the evening progressed, many brought out there own snacks or took advantage of pizza available nearby.

Some brought their own adult libations, while still others gave “bunny ears” to those taking pictures.

All of the concerts in the Fall Series of Street Music in Port Royal are free to the public and family oriented. Attendees are encouraged to bring their own chairs, and coolers are allowed.

The next concert will be on Saturday, Sept. 9, featuring the Upstate’s Angela Easterling and her own homespun mix of country and folk music.

All concerts are held on Paris Avenue, between 9th and 10th streets, with showtimes at 6 p.m., rain or shine.
