THIBODAUX, La. (AP) — A new country music event has been set to help raise money for the Thibodaux Volunteer Fire Department.

The Flames on the Bayou Music Festival is scheduled for 1 p.m. Oct. 27 at the Thibodaux Firemen's Fairgrounds. The Daily Comet reports that the schedule includes performances by Billy Currington, Thompson Square, Corey Smith and 90 Degrees West. Tickets cost $41.55.

The event will supplement fund raising at the annual Thibodaux Firemen's Fair, which is held in May and typically raises more than $500,000 for the department. The 2012 fair raised $633,160, a record amount for the four-day fair.
