⛈️ A change in schedule, but the music goes on! 🎶
The safety of our community, visitors, artists, and staff is always our top priority. With forecasts calling for strong winds, heavy rain, and possible thunderstorms on Sunday, we’ve made the difficult decision to adjust this year’s Duck Jazz Festival schedule. Trust us when we say that this decision was not made lightly. It is incredibly heartbreaking to find ourselves in this position yet again, but the safety of everyone involved is of the utmost importance.
That being said....
The festival is NOT fully canceled! While all events scheduled for Sunday, October 11, are canceled due to the expected weather conditions, we’re excited to share that Saturday’s music is still on, with an adjusted schedule!
Join us on Saturday, October 10 for two performances:
Adam Hawley: 3:30–5:30 p.m.
Brass Queens: 6–7 p.m.
Then come on over to The Blue Point for the Live Jam and continue grooving with us from 7 p.m. to 10 p.m.
We know how much the Duck Jazz Festival means to our community and visitors, and we share in the disappointment of these changes. However, given the forecast, prioritizing everyone’s safety is the right decision.
A heartfelt thank-you to our artists for their flexibility and to our community for your understanding and continued support. We look forward to welcoming you to Duck Town Green on Saturday for an afternoon and evening of fantastic live jazz!
