The Old Couch Music Fest returns to 3rd Street Saturday, August 13 for a FREE night of live music! Gates open at 5:30PM

What is the Old Couch Music Fest?
The Old Couch Music Festival was created in 2017 to display local and regional Americana, folk, bluegrass, country, blues, and rock music. The name was inspired by an old couch in the back of the theater that just couldn’t be dumped because it was donated in someone’s memory. This old couch has come to serve as the primary fundraising event for the Capitol Theater.

We encourage patrons to bring their own old couch, recliner, or lawn chair and enjoy free live music outside on 3rd Street

This event is a family-friendly all ages event

We'll have cold beer, water, wine, and soda available

Coal Haus 337 will be serving pizza

Bands will rotate between the main outdoor stage at Valley & 3rd street & our marquee stage under the theater marquee
