It started as an idea from Julie Mogy, of Aiken's Sub Station II, and has grown into an annual event.
The second United Aiken Music Fest will be from noon to 5 p.m. Saturday at Gyles Park, 412 Park Ave. S.E.
Performing for the free concert will be returning acts Red Letter Echo and Eric "Bogie" DeBeaugrine, along with the groups Dayz to Come, Rocky Swamp Native American Ministries and The Revolution.
Inflatables for kids and games for adults will be set up.
Food such as hot dogs, hamburgers, barbecue sandwiches and mini subs will be served for a donation, and donation buckets will be placed around the park.
United Aiken, started by Mogy and Red Letter Echo member Lenwood Morris, held its debut show at Gyles Park in November. Sub Station II and Morris Construction are the event's sponsors.
