This year, we’re turning up the energy and taking the Afterburner Bash downtown! In partnership with the Laurinburg-Scotland County Area Chamber of Commerce, we’re combining our exclusive performer celebration with the beloved Laurinburg After Five concert series — and you're invited.
Join us Friday, September 5 at McDuffie Square for an unforgettable evening of food, music, and celebration as we welcome performers, volunteers, sponsors, and the entire community to kick off Sky High weekend in style.
What to Expect:
🎶 Live Entertainment: Enjoy a free outdoor concert featuring great music and good vibes.
🛩️ Performer Arrivals by 7PM: Sky High performers are expected to arrive downtown around 7:00 PM — don’t miss your chance to meet them!
🍔 Food Trucks: Grab a bite from a variety of local vendors starting earlier in the evening.
🤝 Community Connection: Celebrate with fellow supporters, aviation fans, and event partners in a festive downtown atmosphere.
The fun begins before the performers arrive, so come early, enjoy the music, and find your spot. This special collaboration brings the heart of Sky High to the heart of Laurinburg — blending community spirit with aerospace excitement. Whether you're with the show or just love a good time, the Afterburner Bash is your perfect takeoff into an action-packed weekend.
