Even with the drinking age at 21, minors still find a way to consume alcohol.

Hoping to bring attention to the dangers of underage drinking, Friday Night Live is sponsoring a free all-day concert at Beckwourth Riverfront Park Pavilion in Marysville on Saturday.

The concert begins at 2 p.m. and runs to 10 p.m.

"We have all kinds of bands performing," said Amber Royer of Friday Night Live.

The bands scheduled to perform include The Paper Melody, The Martian Puppits, Amber Dawn, The Mainland, Brubaker, Faith Fall Short, Tijuana Taxi and Mud Stone.

Each band will perform sets lasting about 45 minutes, but the Martian Puppits and Tijuana Taxi will perform for up to 90 minutes each.

In between each band's performance, speakers will hit the stage to discuss the dangers of alcoholism and to promote a healthy lifestyle.

In addition, the event will have a children's area, vendors and various information booths.

Friday Night Live Concert

When: 2 to 10 p.m. Saturday

Interesting to see the Martian Puppits are still around, I remember them 10 or so years ago.
Being alcohol free, i hope this goes well. Congrads to FNL for keeping this up.

Glad to see this event here in town. Thanks FNL. Always a good intentions for kids.

AD, where is the rest of the story? "Hoping to bring attention to the dangers of underage drinking", that's it?
Please tell me why I should bring my minors to a rock concert at the river bottoms? I wonder if there will be minors drinking since you indicate they seem to have their way of consuming the stuff.

If there was ever a case where the AD fell short on a story, this is it. The event does not say via AD, "bring the family to a drug/alcohol free event!"
