Lunchtime Live has traditionally brought mid-day diners to Houdini Plaza for a picnic and some tunes.
This year, enthusiasts will be able to experience both great local music and great local restaurants as part of the package.
The Thursday music series organized by Appleton Downtown Inc. is changing things up for 2020, bringing its concerts to outdoor patios at restaurants throughout the business district. It starts next week with a July 9 performance by Adria Ramos at Spats, 733 W. College Ave.
Capacity will vary based on the size of each restaurant’s outdoor patio. Those attending are asked to be mindful of social distancing. If you know you’re going, it would be worth your while to call ahead and reserve a table.
The concerts run from 11:30 a.m. until 1 p.m.
