Live on the Levee - more than just great music


One of the many wonderful perks to living in the city of Charleston, WV, is the opportunity to attend countless concerts, festivals, and other forms of art and entertainment during the warm summer months. Among these events is the City of Charleston’s Live on the Levee concert series every Friday night at Haddad Riverfront Park. Great live music, combined with excellent local food vendors and a top-notch view of the Kanawha River, create a fun and relaxing atmosphere for the whole family.

Many are unaware, however, that the goal of Live on the Levee is “good fun for a good cause.” And one such good cause is the YWCA of Charleston! We are one of five local social service non-profits that benefits from the sale of raffle tickets during each of the Friday evening concerts.

Visit with volunteers from YWCA Sojourner’s and YWCA Resolve on Friday, July 25 as they represent our cause at the levee – but don’t let that stop you from contributing any other evening as well! Proceeds are collected by the city after the final concert on August 22 and divided between these deserving organizations.
