Benefit music festival coming Saturday to South Eden
THOMASVILLE — A fundraiser to benefit the American Red Cross and the organization’s 2017 hurricane responses is set for Saturday at a Thomas County plantation.
The event — from 2 p.m. until about 8 p.m. — is being hosted by South Eden Plantation, 301 Showboat Lane, off U.S. 319 South.
Billed as the Crossroads Music Festival, the event will feature entertainers Ralph Roddenbery, 13-year-old Eli Hannon, Brytly, Ricky Gunn and Dana and Lilly.
“It’s all kinds of music. It covers several genres,” said Dana King of Dana & Lilly and a Thomasville resident.
Festival music will range from country to folk to rhythm and blues.
King, event organizer, said she and other performers want to help fund Red Cross disaster relief to hurricane-ravaged Texas, South Florida and Puerto Rico. She pointed out that Puerto Rico falls under the auspices of the Georgia Red Cross organization.
General admission tickets to the Saturday Music Festival are $10. Children 12 and under will be admitted at no charge.
Tickets may be purchased online at tickettailor.com/all-tickets/35019/cd57/.
Proceeds from the event will go to Red Cross hurricane disaster relief, King said.
