United We Rock Concert Series

Get ready to elevate your summer with music, community vibes, and ice-cold craft brews, as Vermilion River Beer proudly introduces the United We Rock Concert Series, launching on Friday, June 13, 2025, in the heart of Downtown Danville.
This exciting, rebranded series builds on Danville’s rich history of live music, combining top-tier talent with a fresh start under a new name. Partnering with the United Way of Danville Area, this event is poised to be your weekend go-to for entertainment, all in support of a great cause.

A Partnership for the Community
The United We Rock Concert Series isn’t just about the tunes and the brews – it’s about coming together to make a difference. The series kicks off on lucky Friday the 13th with Toyota of Danville as our lead sponsor. Concerts will continue every Friday throughout the summer, except for major community events like “First Fridays” and “Balloons Over Vermilion.”
A portion of every dollar raised, from sponsor proceeds to sales and tips, will directly benefit the United Way of Danville Area, fueling programs that support youth development, food security, community health, and financial stability.
“Helping each other creates something bigger than a single business,” said Pete Blackmon, Partner at Vermilion River Beer. “Teaming up with United Way just feels right. We’ll bring the beers and vibes, and they’ll rally volunteers to make this a success.”

Echoing this sentiment, Angie Lazzell, CEO of United Way of Danville Area, added, “This collaboration is about more than the music; it’s about empowering lives. United We Rock proves what the magic of nonprofits and local businesses can achieve together. We invite everyone to take part and celebrate while making a meaningful impact.”

2025-07-04 17:00 - 20:00 | Downtown Danville, Danville, IL, 61832, United States
Step right up for an evening of nostalgia, wonder, and star-spangled celebration as First Fridays brings the magic of a vintage carnival to life this Fourth of July in Downtown Danville.
From 5:00 to 8:00 PM on July 4th, the streets will come alive with the sights and sounds of an old-fashioned carnival, complete with larger-than-life fun, bursts of laughter, and a few surprises around every corner. Feel the thrill and challenge your reflexes in games like the inflatable obstacle course, the wacky Meltdown Zone, or bounce sky-high on the bungee trampoline. Or if you are feeling lucky, try your luck as the human slot machine or duck pond game! Encounter performers who may not be as still as they seem, and don’t be surprised if your fortune is told or your balloon twists into something magical!

Wander through a world of whimsy, where balloon animals appear out of thin air, hula hoops spin in endless motion, and playful characters might just spring to life! Strike a pose at the photo booth to capture the memories, before cooling off in the splash zone, where water activities keep the summer heat at bay.
Whether you’re chasing childhood nostalgia or making new memories with the kids, The Downtown Carnival on July 4th from 5-8 PM is where community, celebration, and Independence Day spirit all come together, only at First Fridays in Downtown Danville.
