3rd District Councilwoman Xanthia Oliver announces Millie Cannon Summer Concert and voter-registration drive
Summary
Councilwoman Xanthia Oliver invited Wilmington residents to the 6th annual 3rd District Millie Cannon Summer Concert on Saturday, Aug. 22, noon–7 p.m., with live performances, a voter-registration table and a $20 raffle; the announcement named two different parks without clarifying which will host the event.
Councilwoman Xanthia Oliver (3rd District) announced the 6th annual 3rd District Millie Cannon Summer Concert for Saturday, August 22, from noon until 7 p.m., saying, "This concert is free and open to the public." She framed the event as a celebration of Wilmington jazz artist Millie Cannon and urged residents to attend for an afternoon of music and community.
Oliver listed scheduled performers — Urban Gorilla Orchestra, The Divert Experience, Richard Rohl, the Brothers That Sing and Tony Smith — and said the event will include a voter-registration drive and a "$20 raffle for a new car." She provided a vendor contact phone number (576-2140) and asked that young children be left at home, describing the concert as "an adult function." The announcement first named Brown Burton Winchester Park as the venue but closed by referring to Price's Park; the statement did not specify which park would host the event.
The announcement positioned the concert as both a cultural tribute to Millie Cannon — whom Oliver said "helped shape our city's culture identity" — and an opportunity for civic engagement through on-site voter registration. Oliver closed the message with thanks and an invitation for residents to attend on Aug. 22.
