The Friday Night Concert Series started over 10 years ago to attract people back to Downtown Columbus, which was once perceived as a nightclub scene with a reputation for crime. After significant private and public investment, crowds, retail and restaurants have flocked back to the area. To help boost the economy downtown, Uptown Columbus, Inc. began regular programming and events to bring people down to Broadway and encourage the community to dine, shop and linger - and thus the Concert Series was created. Uptown's Friday Night Concert Series is one of the city's biggest, most vibrant activities.
This is the first year Active is sponsoring the concert series. In addition to providing pest control services to residents and businesses in Columbus, GA, Active serves more than 40,000 customers throughout the states of Georgia and Texas.
