Jelly Roll will host a private concert for the Apalachee High School community Saturday, hours before he takes the stage in Atlanta.
The entertainer, a Tennessee native, will perform at 1:30 p.m. at Jug Tavern Park, according to the city of Winder. Only those with school-issued wristbands will be allowed to attend, the city said. The special performance comes as the community continues to mourn after a Sept. 4 school shooting killed two teachers and two students.
“This private event aims to foster healing and unity for the students, faculty and families of Apalachee High School as they come together to reflect and support one another following September’s tragedy,” the city said in a Facebook post . “Thank you for your cooperation in making this a safe and enjoyable event for the Apalachee community!”
Road closures will be in place in the area before the event, and parking in downtown Winder will be limited, the city said. Those without Apalachee wristband will be directed to an overflow lot while space permits.
