Music and Art in Jackson Park: Saturday, August 12, 3-9 p.m.
Join us for a day of family fun that includes music, food, and more than a dozen artisan craft vendors in Historic Downtown Pulaski. Come for the day and enjoy the fun!
The Fine Arts Center has hosted summer concerts for many years under many names, most recently as “Rhythm & Ribs and Art in the Park.” This year, we are expanding the food offerings and are glad to showcase chart-topping artist Glen Shelton and his band. It will still be a fun day for the family with lots of great food as well as artisan vendors and crafts for kids. This year’s event is from 3-9 p.m. There is a $5 suggested donation, but everyone is welcome whether you can donate or not.
Some of our food vendors include:
Bootleg Barbecue
Soul on the Go
3 Brothers BBQ
Snack Time
Squeeze’um and Shake’um Refreshments
LIzard Licks Snowballs
The Pork Rind Man
Glen Shelton
Glen Shelton has shared the stage with many well-known performers, including Joe Nichols and Jameson Rodgers and opening for Randy Travis. Signed to Jordash Records in Nashville, Glens first national Country music release was Writing You a Love Song. Since then, Glen has continued to record, place songs on the Country Music charts, and perform up and down the East Coast. We’re glad he and his band had the time available to share with us! They will take the stage around 6:30 p.m.
The Reflections Band
Kicking off the performances will be The Reflections Band, a local band some may remember helped us bring concerts back to Jackson Park in 2021. The band is known for playing a range of popular hits that will get your toes tapping and maybe more. Dancing is not only allowed, it’s encouraged! The Reflections Band goes on stage at 3 p.m.
Also sharing the stage will be our own Greater Pulaski Junior Appalachian Musicians. Otherwise known as GRAPe JAM, these young performers learn traditional music, dance, and culture through a voluntary after-school program. GRAPe JAM will perform around 5:30 p.m. All of this plus great food, artists, and crafts for kids are sure to make this an enjoyable day you won’t want to miss.
