“Once again this market, we’re planning a jam-packed concert series with something for nearly every musical taste,” said Brian Casey, president and CEO of the High Point Market Authority. “We’re also pairing each of our events with enticing menus to make it easy for our guests to grab a bite and unwind after a productive day at market.”
