(La Porte, IN) - A Jimmy Buffet tribute band will help bring a tropical feeling to downtown La Porte this evening. The band from Chicago will play at State and Monroe streets.

The theme of the monthly Friday Night Live event is “Cheeseburger in Paradise,” the title of one of Buffet’s hit songs. Buffet is best known, perhaps, for his song “Margaritaville.”

There will be plenty of food and drink vendors to choose from by the hundreds of people expected to attend. Brett Binversie, the Events Coordinator for the city, believes it will be a wonderful evening.

“You do not want to miss it,” said Mayor Tom Dermody.

The event runs from 6 p.m. to 10 p.m.
