As one of America’s great ’80s rock ‘n roll bands with an unmistakable sound and undeniable “Heart and Soul,” Huey Lewis & The News remains a favorite after nearly four decades of writing and performing. Over the years, these Grammy Award winners have written and performed classic top ten hits such as “The Heart of Rock & Roll,” “Hip to Be Square,” and “Workin’ for a Livin’.” Still, the band is perhaps best known for “Back in Time” and Academy Award nominated “The Power of Love,” written for the hit film, “Back To The Future.”

On Sunday, June 18, the park will celebrate Father’s Day with special recognition for all dads. Sunday is also a Bring-a-Friend day for season passholders, when each passholder can bring one friend for free to Wild Adventures and Splash Island Waterpark.

General admission to all concerts is included with a season pass as is unlimited admission to Wild Adventures and Splash Island Waterpark. For more information on what’s happening this season, a complete concert lineup or to get your season passes, visit WildAdventures.com or call (229) 219-7080.
