News / Concert Announcement Free show kicks the summer off

Posted By on Fri, May 27, 2011 at 11:00 AM

Memorial Day is the signal for summertime, which means lots of outdoor festivities. Even though it's hosted the day before, The U.S. National Whitewater Center plans to commemorate the season and soldiers with three bands and a fireworks display. It's a completely free-of-charge festival that brings on the American music on Sunday, May 29.

American Aquarium, a Raleigh-based band with Americana leanings, starts the trio of concerts planned for the day at 3 p.m.

The roots music show continues with The Apache Relay's indie folk and fiddle playing, and Trampled by Turtles, the headlining act, will take on the soundtrack for the celebration.

Be sure to stick around for fireworks at 9 p.m., also free for the public.

Part of the Whitewater River Jam series, the celebration is a highlight on the calendar. The Whitewater Center has more information on its site.
