Grand Isle Island Aid Concert will be held Saturday, July 24, from 11 a.m. to 8 p.m., officials announced today.
It will take place on the beach directly across from the Community Center, 3811 Highway 1.
The concert will take the place of this year's Tarpon Rodeo, which has been cancelled because of the BP oil spill.
Admission is $10 per person for the all-day concert. Revenue from ticket sales will go to the Grand Isle Alive Promotion Fund to raise money to aid in rebuilding the fishing and tourism industry in Grand Isle.
The event will feature two entertainment stages, food, crafts, clothing, commemorative Island Aid Concert memorabilia and more. The lineup includes Three Dog Night, Little River Band, Doug Kershaw, Lorrie Morgan, Amanda Shaw, Top Cats and the Wise Guys.
