What's the jimmy-jam plan man? !!

It's a unique idea, an experiment in the nature and operation of folk festivals. There are no tickets, no headliners, no shoeliners either (come barefoot as you wish :) Bring your music, your instruments, your voice; bring your picnic food, your friends and family.

We're going to gather together, sit in circles, make our music, wander around, have our picnic, enjoy one another and the talent that is all around us.

For this second year, how many will show? Maybe 50, or 100. Regardless, it's going to happen, it's going to be an event. An event not to miss. Of course, it's happens to be Dad's Day, so hey, if you've got a Dad who makes music, or if you are the son or daughter of a Dad, and you make music, this is an excellent, wonderful place to have an enjoyable family time together.

Just gather together, make some new friends, sit around in song circles, watch or participate in the open stage, and bask in the music.
