Concerts will fill Thursday, Friday and Saturday evenings, while a historical pageant dedicated to Yankton s past will be performed at 2 p.m. Saturday and Sunday in Riverside Park. The Thursday night concert is slated for the Summit Activities Center theater. The Friday and Saturday night outdoor concerts are set for Memorial Park.

The Friday concert opens around 6 p.m. with Boring Daylights with Sarah Benck, followed at 7:30 p.m. by the Nadas out of Des Moines, Iowa. The music resumes Saturday, with the Grammy-nominated Christian band RED headlining at 9 p.m. The band is preceded by Janitor Bob and the Armchair Cowboys at 6 p.m. and Kory and the Fireflies at 7:30 p.m. RED is a Christian band, but they do
