WAYNESBORO — Jammin’ in the Park, the Arts Alliance of Greater Waynesboro’s annual music and arts festival, has been set from 1-7 p.m. on Sunday, Sept. 1. The event will be a Main Street Park.
The full day of entertainment and art features nine area bands playing on two stages, including The Loose Screws, The Flying Matlocks, Cornerstone, Brian Forberger, Samz@7, BBD Trio, Ethan Larsh & The Cicadas, The Note Riders and Big Whiskey.
The groups cover a wide variety of musical styles, including classic and indie rock, Americana, folk, jazz, blues and many unique blends.
The festival is family-friendly, and this year features a vastly expanded Kid Zone area with numerous free activities sponsored by Cluggy’s Family Amusement Center and American Financial Services. Youngsters and their families can play mini golf, paint their own concert t-shirt and collect autographs from the performing bands, get their face painted with Miss Jenn, add to a community mural that will be auctioned off at the end of the concert, make and exchange friendship bracelets, create their own spin art masterpiece, play a round of cornhole and plant their own succulent in a hand-thrown pot from the Ceramic Arts Center.
Several arts vendors will have one-of-a-kind artwork and handcrafted items available for purchase. In addition, six food trucks will be onsite providing lunch, dinner and dessert options for sale in the park: C&G Jerk Chicken, Gerber Burger, Road Drippin’ Mobile Café, Roll Time, Antietam Dairy and Kona Ice. Those older than 21 may purchase craft beer from Waynesboro’s Rough Edges Brewing.
Sponsored by Waynesboro Construction and F&M Trust, the event is a fund raiser, and all proceeds from admissions benefit the Arts Alliance. Admission is $10 for adults, with children age 12 and under entering without charge.
Tickets are available online at www.artsalliancegw.org or at the door on the day of the event.
