Parker McCollum concert to bring crowd of fans to Downtown St. Joseph

ST. JOSEPH, Mo. (News-Press NOW) -- Downtown St. Joseph will be lively with fans of one well-known country singer.

Parker McCollum is performing on Thursday, Oct. 9, at the St. Joseph Civic Arena.

For those planning to attend, there are a few things to be aware of when it comes to parking.

The west side parking lot is closed off, but the east side parking garage is open to the public, as well as general parking in Downtown.

Attendees are encouraged to arrive around 6 p.m. or before to secure a parking spot.

News-Press NOW caught up with a country music fan outside of Civic Arena on Thursday afternoon to get his perspective on when he thinks fans will show up.

"For a big name like parker, I'm sure there'll be people here that are probably already here around the corner." Alex Wisecup said. "If not, I'm sure they'll be here pretty soon in a couple hours. So, six or seven hours before doors open, you got some fans that'll come up for him."

The doors open at 6 p.m. and the show starts at 7:30 p.m.
