Country music artist Craig Morgan will headline the 24th Celebrate Anderson festival Sunday beginning at 5 p.m. on the new permanent stage at the Anderson Civic Center amphitheater. Admission is free, and guests are encouraged to bring blankets and chairs for the concert.

The annual Labor Day event will open with the Celebrate-Fun-Zone on the front lawn of the Civic Center from 1-5 p.m. for kids and offer festival food area for food purchases.

Morgan, member of the Grand Ole Opry and United States Army veteran, will visit Anderson as part of his "God, Family and Country" tour. He has seven studio albums and know songs such as "Almost Home" and "The Father, My Son, and the Holy Ghost."

“Anderson County is appreciative of Michelin, Arthrex, as well as other sponsors and partners for joining the county in giving back to the local community by funding and hosting this free family event,” said Anderson County Administrator Rusty Burns.

Celebrate Anderson will follow the event's tradition and open with the Special Forces Parachute Team and T.L. Hanna High School Jazz Band.

A patriotic fireworks finale honoring the armed services and local first responders will close the evening. 

“There is no need to look further than Anderson County for something to do this Labor Day Weekend,” said Council Chairman Tommy Dunn.
