Together Thursday Concert Series Begin Oct. 17 with Bag of Donuts

The City of Orange and Dow have partnered together to host Together Thursdays, a free outdoor concert series. Together Thursdays will be held at the Riverfront Boardwalk and Pavilion from 5 P.M. to 8 P.M. and will feature the New Orleans party band, Bag of Donuts, on October 17 and Keith Frank and the Soileau Zydeco Band on October 24. Food and drinks will be available for purchase during the event.

With a flair for kabuki make-up and extravagant costumes, the four New Orleans natives in Bag of Donuts cover songs in a style they have branded as Superpop: Any song popular from any era. In the great tradition of stunning acts, BOD has to be experienced live to fully feel the impact. The universality of their show stems from the idea that everyone likes to have an escape, a release.

In light of the recent flooding that has impacted our community, the City of Orange and Dow believe it is more important than ever to show our support for the Orange area and spend time with our neighbors. We want to show that “Together” we will be working to rebuild and recover.
