The event is the first in what is projected to be an annual event, according to a news release from the city.

“I wanted to have an event to honor our heroes, and I also wanted everyone to have some fun as we start the long holiday weekend,” Mayor Craig Ford said. “The historic amphitheater is a great location because it is large enough to host, but intimate enough for a one-of-a-kind experience. Plus, it's all steps away from the beautiful Coosa River."

Local food trucks and beverage stations will provide a variety of refreshments for those attending.

Gates open at 4 p.m. Tickets are available at  www.cityofgadsden.com, and use the promo code FLASH to get 50% off the original price of $39.99.
