Thanks to Michael Logsdon for this great shot of the Jubilee audience on Saturday afternoon. It was a great day down on the Ohio River & we have the best audience anywhere. Thanks so much to the fabulous musicians, our sponsors & vendors and our crew of volunteers, friends and family who all work SO hard to pull this all together. We couldn’t do it without you all ❤️. And if you didn’t get a shirt or print because we SOLD OUT so early, hang-tight. We’ll have more of both coming soon. #jugband #jugbandjubilee
It's Jubilee day!! Looking like a beautiful, busy day down on the river.
- There is free parking all up and down River Road and there will be additional parking in a field just East of the amphitheater for $7. The Jubilee also has a couple of golf carts that will be out looking for folks who need a ride.
- We will have water stations set up so that you can refill your water bottles.
- No coolers, no outside alcohol.
Just got word that the Frazier event is sold out! Please go jam at Goodwood, see the Steel City Jug Slammers at Nachbar and Miss Maybell at the Limbo!
