Normal LIVE (part of the Town of Normal Cultural Arts Department) produces a live music series of evening concerts at Uptown Circle from late spring into early fall. All performances are free and open to the public.

Where can ISU students find great food, entertainment, community resources, and potential employment near campus? Just across the street from Watterson Dining Hall you will find all those questions answered with Uptown Normal. Join the Center for Civic Engagement and Uptown Normal to get acquainted with your new community and explore all the potential Uptown Normal has for you.

The Destination Uptown event and scavenger hunt gives you a chance to explore your new community, get freebies, and enjoy music in the Uptown Circle. Complete the scavenger hunt and you’ll be entered into a drawing to win even more great Uptown Normal prizes. Start at the Center for Civic Engagement (300 W. North Street) and wind your way through Uptown anytime between 3:00 p.m. and 6:00 p.m. on August 14th.

Don’t want to do the scavenger hunt? Head to Uptown Circle for live music from 3 p.m. to 6 p.m. from TyJon Charlie!
