TRACY LAWRENCE HEADLINER FOR FESTIVAL ENTERTAINMENT

Country star, Tracy Lawrence, is the big gun at Suffolk Spring Spectacular, a three-day balloon festival, but he is by no means the event's only attraction.

There will be a lot of entertainment on the Main Stage, Family Stage, and Permanent Stage from April 11 to 13.

What - exactly?
