‘Thursday Nights Live’  – The Origin Story

After 16 years of producing a Friday night summer music series at the Bradford Common, local artist Paul Prue approached Team Haverhill to adopt the event and continue the tradition. Understanding the importance of this kind of project for the benefit of Haverhill residents, local performers and the arts community alike; the decision was made.

After a few adjustments including moving the series to Thursday nights, a rebranding, and partnering with Haverhill Bank as an exclusive sponsor, the six-week series was relaunched. 2025 marks the first summer under Team Haverhill’s stewardship.
