LAWRENCEVILLE - Today ushers in Memorial Day weekend, the unofficial kickoff of the summer season, and Gwinnettians have their pick of a host of ways to celebrate.
A patriotic performance by the U.S. Air Force Reserve's Concert Band in Suwanee will launch the weekend of festivities. The free outdoor concert will be held at 7:30 p.m. today at Town Center Park. Admission tickets may be picked up at the event. Parking near the venue will be available, and there will also be shuttle service provided from Shadowbrook Baptist Church, 4187 Suwanee Dam Road.
