DESTIN, FLORIDA - (September 2020)... The first week in October, the Mattie Kelly Arts Foundation presents two outdoor concert opportunities. On Thursday, October 1, 2020, the Pickled Pickers grace the Dugas Pavilion. In addition, another fan-favorite, The Shakedown, takes the stage for a rare, Saturday night Concert in the Village, playing in place for Shania Twin who is unable to perform at Concerts in the Village on Saturday, October 3, 2020.
The Shakedown, previously scheduled for September 17th, was unable to perform due to weather associated with Hurricane Sally. While 2020, has presented challenges for everyone, MKAF is determined to celebrate it's 25th Anniversary year.
