Foley continues its year-long centennial celebration on Sunday, April 19, with a birthday picnic for the city at the Foley Civic Center.

The event was originally scheduled to take place at Heritage Park, but the potential for rain over the weekend led organizers to move the event indoors.

Foley Mayor John Koniar and the city council invite everyone to attend the event, which will include a concert by the Baldwin Pops. Festivities and entertainment will begin at 4 p.m.

Event planners say this will be an official birthday party for the city, so look for special surprises at this free event.

Foley Elementary School’s show choir “Fame” will kick off the celebration performing on the stage on the western base of the new Centennial Plaza. Following the performance, historic homes and businesses will be recognized with certificates presented by Centennial Committee members.

At 6 p.m., the Baldwin Pops will perform a special concert, joined by top Baldwin County band students, as a part of their scholarship series. Conductor Dr. Roger Jones has composed a Centennial Tribute March in honor of Foley’s 100th birthday that will be premiered at the event. The Pops also will be performing several other marches written in 1915, along with other popular selections, during this spring concert in the park.

Because the event has been moved indoors, the picnic spread competition has been canceled.
