The event on Saturday, September 6 includes music from Thoresby Colliery Band, The Notts Police Band, Bestwood Male Voice Choir, Sore Point (a lively group) and a grand firework display.
This is now a popular event in aid of the Notts and Lincs Air Ambulance with all proceeds from the concert going towards keeping the helicopter in the air.
The event was first held in 2004 and is in memory of Ged Walker, a Notts Police Dog Handler who was killed at work attempting to stop a man stealing a car.
Gates for the concert open at 4pm ready for the start of the entertainment at 5pm.
It is expected to finish at 10pm.
