(La Porte, IN) - Get out your best Hawaiian shirt and flip flops. Cheeseburger in Paradise returns Friday from 6-10 pm in downtown La Porte.

 

Live entertainment will be provided by the Yacht Rock-ettes, female-led yacht rock cover band. The highlight of the evening, of course, is a beer garden and the best cheeseburger competition.

 

“We’ve had a great summer with all our downtown events, but the fun isn’t over yet,” said Civic & Events Director Gregory Pietsch. “Our Cheeseburger in Paradise event will be the perfect ending to a fantastic season of Friday Night Lives, and we hope to pack our downtown for an evening full of live music and delicious food.”

 

Cheeseburger in Paradise takes place near Lincolnway and Monroe. This event has been made possible by La Porte Seamless Gutter. For more information on this event and others, visit livinthelakelife.org.

 

And if you’re a hardcore Parrot-head—or if you just want to get one more use out of the Hawaiian shirt and flip flops—a Jimmy Buffett tribune band will play at La Porte’s Civic Auditorium Saturday night. Gone 2 Paradise - The Ultimate Jimmy Buffett Experience takes the Civic stage at 7 pm, recreating the laid-back, electric atmosphere of a live Buffett show.

 

Concert organizers say the band's performances transport audiences to a tropical oasis, where they can escape the daily grind and embrace the laid-back "Margaritaville" state of mind.
