The music will feature Parker Urban Band, a popular funk
band from Jacksonville. Following them on stage will be BIG Something, one of
the fastest rising acts out of North Carolina. BIG Something brings a party
filled with everything jam fans love – an expertly-played, eclectic mix of
rock, funk, jazz, reggae and more!
After them, S.P.O.R.E will take the stage.
S.P.O.R.E. is a high energy 5 piece Livetronica Jam Band out of Jacksonville
that creates and fuzes a unique medley of Rock, Funk, Jazz, Blues, Hip Hop, and
Dancy Electronic jams!
Then closing the show we have Zach Deputy. Zach Deputy is a
multi-instrumentalist and songwriter based in Savannah, GA and best known for
his live looping shows. A crowd favorite, he always sends fans home with a
smile on their faces.
In
addition to the arts and music, the festival will feature a line of food
trucks, an interactive kids zone, the giant water slide, the Northeast Florida
Cornhole Championships, a rock-paper-scissors battle royal, vendors and much
more!!!
