Kentucky Traveling Vietnam Wall and Velvet Bombers Headline Friday After 5 in Owensboro
It's the 4th of July holiday weekend and Friday After 5 has an incredible lineup planned for its 7th week of the season. Among the highlights- the much-anticipated reunion of the Velvet Bombers, one of Owensboro's most legendary bands, and a powerful tribute to Vietnam soldiers from right here in the Commonwealth.
Here's a look at who will be on stage tonight!
Here's the Lineup for Week #7 of Friday After 5
As you can see, one of the biggest and most memorable highlights of the night will be the arrival of the Traveling Kentucky Vietnam Wall. That moving monument contains the names of over 1,000 Kentuckians who were killed in action, were held as Prisoners of War and some who are still officially listed as Missing in Action. The fact that the Wall will arrive just in time for the 4th of July weekend will certainly cement its impact even more. The project aims to provide all Kentuckians, and certainly Friday After 5 goers, an "opportunity to pay homage to those who gave their all."
And, of course, in addition to this powerful display, there will multiple stages and bands along the "Mile of Music."
