Free Admission will continue all day or 450 minutes on Memorial Day, Monday, May 28th as BI-LO Day returns. Memorial Day will be a time to celebrate our service men and women and organizers announced the theme of the day will be “We Love Our Country” and country music will fill the amphitheater as hot new country artists Love and Theft and Dustin Lynch headline the day.
FWA is recognized for its signature hot air balloons and the four day concert series which will feature Colbie Caillat, Gavin DeGraw, Jake Owen, Eddie Money and more.
Those keeping an “eye to the sky” will enjoy more special shaped hot air balloons during the flights than any previous year as the Purple People Eater will be joined by whimsical balloons from the animal kingdom as a flying elephant, zebra and Spunky the Skunk will fly daily.
As in previous years, FWA will be tobacco-free between noon and 5 p.m. daily, and Hillcrest Memorial Hospital will be onsite to provide first aid. The 2012 event will continue an all-inclusive general admission policy including all amphitheater concerts, viewing of hot air balloon ascensions, disc dogs, acoustic stage, Family Fun Zone and more. Children 12 and under are free. Tickets are
available at all BI-LO locations and can be purchased for $8 from April 27 through May 24. For more information, please visit www.freedomweekend.org.
