Attend the National Jug Band Jubilee September 24

Music has been around for more than a thousand years and over that time, some true geniuses have created songs. How about Beethoven's 5th Symphony, the music of the Beatles, Justin Bieber? Well, everyone has their own taste in music. And if you like jug music or folk music or free music, head to the waterfront this September for a free concert at the National Jug Band Jubilee.

Jug Band Music

Jug band music is truly historic. This style of music is a jazzy style that pre-dates World War II, a time of great upheaval and change in the U.S. and all around the world. Jug band music is made with all homemade instruments. This might literally be an old jug or a tin can and a spoon or perhaps even something rather intricate and interesting. The tradition of using a washboard to make music or playing a saw shares its roots with jug band music.

It's pretty interesting what musicians can do with everyday objects and how they can use them to make amazing sounds. Jug band music is a really fun example of what you can achieve if you're creative and you think outside the box, or outside the jug.

Be at the waterfront for the National Jug Band Jubilee from noon to 10 pm to enjoy tasty stuff to eat from local food trucks, a great selection of beer and wine, fun workshops, vendor booths and some really amazing and awe-inspiring free music. Bring your own chairs or blankets and have fun on the waterfront at this all-ages event that's kid friendly.
