Louie Louie Parade May 22nd

Post by Fraser »

During the most recent club meeting, we decided to participate in this event again this year. Here are the details....

Peoria, Illinois (May 22, 2009) – Hippie Radio 101.1, 98.5 Kiss-FM and 99.9 The Buzz and 96.5 ESPN would like to invite everyone to the 22nd Annual Louie Louie Parade and RiverJam on Friday, May 22, 2009. Central Illinois has annually kicked off summer with this feel good event in downtown Peoria with the sole purpose of raising money for a great cause. With the help from our friends at the Peoria Park District, The Illinois Valley Striders, The St Jude Runners, and all the many returning corporate sponsors, this event continues to raise money for research and treatment for the Children of St Jude.

The Louie Louie Parade begins at 3:30 sharp on Friday May 22nd and takes off from the Peoria Civic Center Lot on Fulton and Monroe. There is a wide variety of entries to this year’s parade with everybody humming, strumming, and singing Louie Louie!

Immediately following the parade is the RiverJam festival. The festival will take place at the CEFCU Centre Stage on Peoria’s Landing on the Riverfront. The lineup for the music festival includes the best of the best in local and regional bands that include No Access, Sunshine Experience, Jammsammich, and Rock Band Karaoke.

See Doc (from the Hippie Morning Show) and Tim broadcast live on 96.5 ESPN, and KISS FM’s very own Big D as they introduce your favorite musical acts plus. Admission to the music festival will be FREE all night.
