Using music to bring communities together and to help children discover music – that's the idea behind a new foundation called Walk The Beat.
There's a big event coming up Saturday in Grand Haven, Spring Lake, and Ferrysburg to help launch the foundation.
Musician and songwriter David Palmer is the founder of the Walk The Beat Foundation.
He says the goal of the foundation is to get kids involved with music, which leads to its slogan: "Teaching the Rhythm of Life."
On August 16 from noon to 5 p.m., each one of the three cities will have open houses featuring local musicians and businesses. Visitors are welcome to go from location to location and experience different types of music.
