Join us for an unforgettable evening with Soul Vacation at Downtown at Sundown on Friday, May 22, at 6 p.m.. Catch the band at the corner of Ryan and Broad streets in vibrant Downtown Lake Charles.

Formed in November 2003, Soul Vacation was born when bassist Jay Ecker teamed up with guitarist Mike Dolan from City Heat to create a dynamic party band. Blending today's top hits with classic rock vibes, they recruited Jessica Minton from Lake Charles for her distinctive vocals, David Pellerin on keyboards and vocals, and Ron Muniz on percussion. Performing across southwest Louisiana and east Texas, Soul Vacation stands out as one of Lake Charles' most versatile live acts, covering a wide range of artists.

Brought to you by generous corporate sponsors, this Soul Vacation show is supported by Global Industries, with the stage provided by Cheniere Energy. Enjoy local artists showcasing in tabletop galleries, kids' entertainment, and food booths. In case of rain, the event moves indoors to the Lake Charles Civic Center.

Bring your lawn chairs for comfort—no outside beverages or pets permitted. Beverage sales benefit the Arts and Humanities Council of SWLA. Explore Downtown Lake Charles' restaurants and pubs for more fun. For details, call 337-491-9147 or visit www.cityoflakecharles.com.
