Black Jacket Symphony presents: Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers

8:00 PM; Gates open at 7:00PM

The Black Jacket Symphony offers a unique concert experience through recreating classic
albums in a live performance setting. A selected album is performed in its entirety by a group of
handpicked musicians specifically selected for each album, with no sonic detail being
overlooked. The musicians do whatever it takes to musically reproduce the album exactly as it
sounds on the album. Following the album and a brief intermission, the band returns to the stage
for a full set of greatest hits by the evening’s featured artist.

Hosted by Downtown LaGrange Development Authority and Downtown Partners, the festivities are part of the Sunsets at Sweetland series featuring free music and movies for all to enjoy.

The gates open at 6:00 to a festival atmosphere with local food vendors and activities on the lawn.

Tour the Jungle Bus book mobile.

Watch the movie – Jumanji – Welcome to the Jungle on the huge outdoor screen on the lawn, as soon as the sun sets – 9:00 pm.
