Monkee to Perform at Septemberfest Block Party

Davy Jones, former member of The Monkees, tops a line-up of six bands scheduled to perform at Septemberfest, an outdoor festival to be held Friday, Sept. 23, through Sunday, Sept. 25 in Eagan, Minn. The second annual end-of-summer/start-of-autumn block party and carnival is hosted by Eagan`s Faithful Shepherd Catholic School and Tri-Parish Center.

"Davy Jones brings our annual festival its first internationally recognized performer and an icon of Baby Boomers who call the suburbs home," said Septemberfest chair, Brian Howard. "Along with Davy Jones, our celebration will offer fun-seekers of all ages music and carnival entertainment in a small, festive venue. The combination of daytime family games and rides, great food and beverages and evening concerts for our town`s rock-and-roll fans, help make Septemberfest "The Biggest Little Block Party in the Burbs".

In addition to concerts, Septemberfest will feature a midway with rides and games, an indoor family-fun zone filled with kids games and activities, a food court with carnival-favorite treats and hometown entrees, and a beer garden adjacent to the concert pavilion. The midway and refreshment area hours are: Sept. 23 from 6 p.m. to midnight, Sept. 24 noon to midnight, Sept. 25 1 p.m. to 4 p.m
