About the event
Handy on the Plaza returns July 15 through July 18, bringing four nights of free live music to Mobile Plaza during the W.C. Handy Music Festival.
The Carriage Wine & Market is proud to serve as a founding co-organizer and supporter of this downtown Florence tradition. Each evening features a different lineup of regional and visiting artists, creating an energetic, open-air celebration of the music and culture that make The Shoals so special.
Located directly on Mobile Plaza, The Carriage will be open throughout the festival for wine, cocktails, cold beer and beverages to go. Stop in before the show, grab a drink to enjoy within the entertainment district or settle onto our patio for a great view of the stage.
The Carriage’s own Edward Speaker will also help close out the festival Saturday night with The Funk Brotherhood.
