During the ceremony, Michael’s music will be played, and candles will be lit for him at night. The speeches of city officials are also included in the program. It is expected that 2,000 people will attend the celebration. In addition, on August 29—Michael’s birthday—Gary will also hold another celebration in front of the 2300 Jackson Street house.
