It's an old-fashioned good time that includes rides, vendors, a car show, great bands, and naturally lots of amazing seafood from Friday through Sunday evening.

Register now for June
We can confidently say that your kid will have few chances to learn marionette-making from Jimbo Mathus (Squirrel Nut Zippers), historian Marcus Hayes, and BSL artist and art teacher Dale Pohl. But they can this summer, in a workshop that commemorates the 100-year anniversary of 100 Men D.B.A. Hall, a crucial Black American landmark. The project includes building a permanent marionette theater on the grounds of the Hall.
The workshop will culminate in a live performance of “A Blues Chronicle,” a show recounting details of the Hall's 100-year history, on Thursday, June 30, which will be recorded for future educational use. Read Mathus’s insightful note about the project and get more info on this and other events in the Hall's latest newsletter HERE. |
