RiverJam Jazz and Blues Festival this weekend
From the festival volunteers:
Join the Parkville Community Development and all the volunteers of the Blues/Jazz and Fine Arts River Jam planning committee on June 15th and 16th in beautiful English Landing Park, on the banks of the Missouri River in Parkville, MO for the longest running Jazz festival in the area. Twelve international, national and regionally acclaimed Blues and Jazz bands will perform at this year’s event. Our line-up features Sonny Landreth from Breaux Bridge Louisiana, Angela Hagenbach Parkville, MO, Saskia Laroo from Amsterdam in the Netherlands, Max Groove, Sons of Brazil and Mama Ray all from Kansas City, and several others least we forget Gary Alaska Sloan of Diamond City Arkansas who got us all on our feet and rocked the park in 2005.
Whether decorating a new home or just acquiring that “one of a kind” painting we also showcase a juried art show from approximately 40 regional artists whose work will be on display and for sale throughout the festival. Such artists many of whom are returning by popular demand include Parkville’s watercolorist Charlene Madden, nationally acclaimed Wildlife artist Glen Garrison, pottery, acrylics, landscapes and portraits by many others. It’s time to support the Arts by starting or adding to your collection.
Historical Parkville is the destination to spend the day shopping and dining with a wide variety of shops, including clothing, re-sale, antiques /collectibles home furnishing and a wide variety of restaurants to satisfy any appetite. Let’s break the mall habit and enjoy the start of summer supporting the Historical district. “Mom and pop” stores are just part of the scene in Parkville, we’ve added the “kids” too.
A special thank-you to our continued sponsors, North Kansas City Hospital, Kansas City Blue’s Society, KKFI 90.1, North Kansas City Beverage and the many others to follow.
