Parker Wright, Anne Neal Moore, Lilley Wright and Ryan Pugh join Crestline Rocks event organizers Allene Neighbors and Will Haver for an air guitar concert in the village.
Crestline Rocks is bringing live music and special deals from Crestline vendors to Crestline Village on Sept. 7, with Big Head Todd & The Monsters as the headliner.
The Mountain Brook Police Department will block off streets in anticipation of a crowd of more than 3,000 people.
The event benefits PreSchool Partners, a nonprofit organization that prepares 3- and 4-year-old at-risk children and their families for kindergarten in the Birmingham City School System.
IberiaBank is the event’s sponsor.
After putting on similar events on a smaller scale like Otey’s Fest, which featured live music in the Otey’s parking lot, Will Haver conceived the idea of putting on a concert right in the middle of Crestline.
In addition to the music lineup, Touch-A-Truck will allow children to touch and climb on fire engines, motorcycles, police cars and construction machinery in the Regions Bank parking lot.
Ticket tables will be set up at entrances on Dexter and at the intersection of Hoyt and Church Street, and wristbands will be issued at entrances beginning at 4 p.m. Tickets are on sale for $35 in advance at crestlinerocks.com, and they will be $40 at the gate. Children 12 and under get in free.
PreSchool Partners was launched 17 years ago by two Mountain Brook residents and continues to retain staff, donors and volunteers from the community. For more, visit preschool-partners.org or call 951-5151.
