What’s one of the most magical things to do in the city, you ask? Attending one of the upcoming Candlelight concerts in Dothan, of course! We’re all used to obsessing over our favorite artists’ distinctive voices, relatable lyrics, catchy beats, and modern strums. However, the Candlelight series offers music lovers a unique opportunity to experience well-known songs in an entirely new way. From Coldplay’s famously anthemic tracks to Taylor Swift’s metaphorically rich hits, hear familiar melodies performed on piano, adapted for string quartets, and more.
A unique event space in its own right, The Forum is hosting Candlelight’s sensational shows. Typically, it hosts job fairs, sports events, private parties, and banquets, but it also provides the perfect backdrop for skilled ensembles to perform some of the greatest music of all time. Before or after a Candlelight concert, you can also take some time to wander around downtown Dothan.
