SUWANEE - The City of Suwanee will host back-to-back events Memorial Day weekend.

First up on Friday, May 24, is the University of West Georgia Concert Band, which will perform a free concert as part of the City's annual Memorial Weekend celebration. The band, comprised of the most advanced woodwind, brass, and percussion players at West Georgia, will take the stage around 7:15 p.m. at Town Center Park.

Before the band's performance, the Aero X aerial demonstration team, made up of active duty and veteran military personnel as well as civilian personnel, will "drop in" via parachute at Town Center Park at approximately 7 p.m., weather permitting. The Silver Wings out of Fort Benning, who usually perform at this event, cannot appear due to federal sequestration budget cuts.

The following evening
This section of the Berlin Wall, which is on display in Suwanee, will be auctioned off Memorial Day weekend.
