The pony rides, face painting, and carnival games will run from 5 to 9pm. Then at dusk, fireworks will be shot off tonight from Desmond Landing.
Also tonight is the first of a pair of country music concerts by nationally renowned recording artists downtown. Q Country 107 WSAQ will be hosting Joe Nichol with special guest Them Cooley Boys tonight in the West Quay Street Parking Lot near the 7th Street Bridge. There will be a ticketed VIP area close to the stage with tickets being sold for $30 for tonight’s show or $20 for tomorrow’s show through the McMorran Box Office.
