MYRTLE BEACH -- David Archuleta's coming to Myrtle Beach!
David Archuleta was just 16 years old when he competed on American Idol Season 7, wowing the audience with his mature voice.
Archuleta, who lost in the final episode to David Cook, will perform during a free oceanfront concert May 28th.
The concert is part of Mayfest, which encompasses a variety of events taking place in Myrtle Beach on Memorial Day Weekend.
"We are thrilled to have David Archuleta coming to perform in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina for a free concert this May. His talent and personality will certainly add to our lineup of Memorial Day Festivities and be a huge draw as we gather to celebrate the start of summer. He's an amazing artist that will help to make this year's MayFest one to remember," said Amie Lee, Director of Festivals and Special Events for the Myrtle Beach Area Chamber of Commerce.
After Archuleta performs, the audience will be treated to a grand finale of fireworks.
The Mayfest celebration includes a parade, led by Senator John McCain as grand marshal, on May 28th that will start at 27th Avenue North at 9:30 a.m. and end at 9th Avenue North around 12:30 p.m.
After the parade, you can catch the Archuleta concert as well as entertainment, food, and arts and crafts vendors.
