The Municipal Band is made up of fifty-five area musicians of all ages. Concerts have been scheduled on Tuesday evenings in June through July 6th. Because of the structural issues with the city band shell, this year performances will be held on the east parking lot of the Franklin County Courthouse beginning at 8:00 PM. This final concert will also launch the fund raising campaign to renovate the band shell, jointly coordinated by Main Street Hampton and Hampton Area Chamber of Commerce.

Because of the absence of benches, concert goers are encouraged to bring a lawn chair.
