Topic: It takes an entire community to create an unforgettable event! Join us as we welcome the organizers of Gig on Main to discuss how Downtown Irwin is preparing to welcome up to 10,000 visitors this September. From event planning and public safety to the incredible support of EMS, first responders, local businesses, volunteers, and the faith community, it truly is a community-wide effort.

We’ll take you behind the scenes to learn what it takes to host one of the region’s premier music events and how Gig on Main continues to bring people together while showcasing everything Downtown Irwin has to offer.

Tune in Sunday at 7:00 AM and again at 11:00 PM on WHJB!
