Lunchtime Live! Hits the Market Plaza

WHEELING, W.Va. – July 6, 2022 – Wheeling Heritage announced today the return of its Lunchtime Live! concert series starting on Friday, July 15 from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. at the Market Street Plaza in Downtown Wheeling. 

The community is invited to enjoy their lunch hour with live music from local artists. The July 15 concert will feature Melody Rae, an alternative singer-songwriter inspired by indie-pop, folk, and americana artists. This free concert series will continue on the third Friday of each month through October with performances by Jason Treuman, Tucker Riggleman, and Chelsey Keding. 

Lunchtime Live! began in 2018 to provide a new way for people to experience Downtown Wheeling. This concert series is sponsored by The Health Plan, one of the largest locally managed care organizations in West Virginia. 

“We are thrilled to be a part of an event of this type here in downtown Wheeling,” said Jeff Knight, President and CEO of The Health Plan. “When we made the commitment to build our new headquarters in Wheeling, we envisioned events of this type to take hold and revive the spirit of the downtown. Our continued goal is to be a part of community-minded events that take place all over the state of West Virginia.” 

Lunchtime Live! kicks off July 15 starting at 11 a.m. and will continue every third Friday through October. Guests are encouraged to grab lunch from nearby restaurants before making their way to Market Plaza for the concert. This concert series is also supported in partnership with the city of Wheeling.
