Open Road Series

The Open Road concert series in Downtown Abilene offers music from some of the best in the Americana and roots rock music scenes.

“
You can look down south or you can turn back home, and there's a wide open road.
Johnny Cash

Proceeds from the concerts benefit the Community Foundation of Abilene — for the purpose of granting money to downtown initiatives — and Future Fund, an endowment fund of the Community Foundation which provides funding to local organizations serving children and youth.
