FORT JACKSON, SC -- Saturday's Armed Forces Day celebration will take on a musical twist, as Hilton Field is transformed into an outdoor concert venue.
The concert will be headlined by country artist John Anderson, who will hit the stage at 8 p.m. The show starts at 4 p.m. with patriotic music from Eric Horner, who is followed by the funk-rock quartet Ten Toes Up at 5:15 p.m., and R&B act The Finesse Band at 6:30 p.m.
In addition to the entertainment, a number of vendors will offer a variety of food items as part of an international food festival. Children can participate in fun and games at a carnival.
"This is another event that shows how committed Family and MWR command is to the Army Family Covenant and to providing quality entertainment to our Soldiers, families and civilians," said Theresa O'Hagan, with Fort Jackson FMWR marketing.
Anderson is best known hits such as "Swinging," "Seminole Wind" and "Straight Tequila Night."
The concert is free and open to the public. Gates open at 3 p.m. Attendees who do not have a DoD car decal need to provide the car registration, proof of insurance and proper identification for all passengers older than 10 to gain access to the installation.
