West Baton Rouge Parish is planning a welcome home bash for John Foster.
The 18-year-old American Idol contestant from Addis made it to the top three on Monday evening's show. He will now compete in the season finale next Sunday.
A parade and concert are scheduled for this evening in Foster's hometown. The parade starts at 5 p.m. along First Street, and the concert at the Bayou Plaquemine Waterfront Park will take place at 7:30 p.m.
The city of Plaquemine and the Iberville Parish Sheriff's Office say there will be a security checkpoint for the concert and only clear bags will be allowed through.
Ice chests can not be brought in, though free water will be available. Chairs and wagons will be allowed.
