A Grammy-winning R&B headliner is playing a free show in Downtown Chamblee this Saturday, and the night ends with fireworks.

Robin Thicke, Free, and Fireworks to Close
The concert starts at 6:30 p.m. in Downtown Chamblee, the same streets that usually host farmers markets and antique browsing. Thicke runs his catalog of chart-toppers, and the fireworks follow around 9 p.m. That means a live show and a full pyrotechnics display without fighting Centennial Park crowds or the highway backup afterward. If you're trying to get there, it's two blocks from the MARTA station, so you can skip the parking hunt entirely. AVV will be on the ground Saturday night, so if you spot us out there, come say hey.
Where This Sits in the Summer Series
July 4th is the middle stop on a three-concert run. The series opened June 12th with a Juneteenth celebration and The Evolution of Beyoncé tribute, and it wraps Friday, August 7th with the Boy Band Review, an interactive throwback to the biggest boy bands of the '90s and early 2000s. Every show is free, no tickets and no pre-registration, all starting at 6:30 p.m. VIP packages, sponsorships, and transportation details live at chambleerocks.net.
