Jam On DUMBO's Summer Family Music Festival

Sidewalks in the city may be getting steamy, but on Saturday, August 20th, Brooklyn is really going to sizzle as Jam On DUMBO brings a full day of family entertainment to The Archway under the Manhattan Bridge, sponsored by the DUMBO Improvement District. 

From 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., kids’ entertainers will jam on as local vendors sell their wares in our community marketplace. The Summer Family Music Festival is free to attend - come rain or shine!

Musical performers include: an interactive Afro-Haitian drum and song performance by Bonga; the funky Erin Lee and the Up Past Bedtime Band; kiddie cabaret band The Itty Biddies; ukulele duo The Mini Max Players; rockers Rolie Polie Guacamole; and teen alternative-rock group Still Saffire. The festival will also feature a performance by P for Puppet and family yoga led by Bija Yoga.
