The intersection of 3rd and Main Street in Batesville will close at 12 p.m. Thursday as The Levitt AMP Batesville Block Party Concert Series returns to downtown, bringing live music, food, and family-friendly entertainment to the city’s Entertainment District.
Hosted by Main Street Batesville in partnership with the Levitt Foundation, the free outdoor concert series will take place every Thursday at 6 p.m. through July 3. Organizers say the 2025 season will feature a blend of nationally touring musicians and local performers.
The 10-week lineup includes artists such as Christian French (May 1), Lauren Anderson (May 8), The Kentucky Gentlemen (May 15), and Ace Monroe (July 3). Additional acts include Kings & Associates, Eric Johanson, Adrian & Merideth, Denetia, Kyshona, and The Tiarras.
Local artists such as Dalainey Taylor, Lan-Law, Erin Walters, Luke Middleton, and Trevor Graddy are also scheduled to perform throughout the series.
In addition to live music, the event will offer a Kid Zone and Toddler Zone, lawn games, a food truck court, and designated dining areas, all within a walkable downtown setting.
Organizers attribute the series’ continued success to strong community backing. Presenting sponsors include Bad Boy Mowers, First Community Bank, and the City of Batesville. Gold-level support comes from Intimidator Group and Atlas Asphalt, with additional sponsorship from local businesses and organizations.
For more information and a full schedule of performances, visitors are encouraged to consult the event’s activities map.
