Parkville's River Jam

14th Annual Parkville Blues/Jazz and Fine Arts River Jam

Parkville, MO-The Parkville Community Development Corporation and all the volunteers of the Blues/Jazz and Fine Arts River Jam planning committee proudly announce the 14^th annual Blues/Jazz and Fine Arts River Jam on June 19^th and 20^th in beautiful English Landing Park, on the banks of the Missouri River in Parkville, MO. In part due to our continued sponsors and our dedicated volunteers this is the longest running blues/jazz festival in the area.

Eight international, national and regionally acclaimed Blues and Jazz bands will perform at this year’s event. Our line-up features Stacy Mitchart from Nashville, Tennessee, world renowned Jazz artist Angela Hagenbach, Roger (Hurricane) Wilson from Atlanta, Georgia, with Levee Town, Harper from Australia, The Sons of Brazil, the Tommy Andrew’s Band, the Rev. Jimmie Bratcher, The Skip Hawkin’s Band and the Parkville Community Band.

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 Glen Garrison, (Wildlife art), Constance Smith, (oil painting & prints), 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 fashions, re-sale, antiques and collectibles, wine, art galleries, home furnishing and even a science store as well as a wide variety of restaurants to satisfy any appetite. Let’s break the mall habit and enjoy the start of summer supporting Parkville. Remember, Parkville is close to home, but far from ordinary.

A special thank-you to our continued sponsors, North Kansas City Hospital, Kansas City Blue’s Society, KKFI FM 90.1, North Kansas City Beverage and the many others to follow.

Friday June 19^th 5:30 p.m. to 11:00 p.m.
