Potomac River Jam
Sunday, October 26, 8 am - 5 pm
River Center at Lockhouse 8, C&O Canal National Historical Park, Cabin John, MD
Join Potomac Conservancy for our first annual Potomac River Jam - a day-long celebration of the river and canal.
Full schedule listed below.
Local musicians will play acoustic sets of Celtic, folk and indie music throughout the afternoon. Enjoy a little sample of the River Center events from this summer, such as a morning bird walk and nature photography session.
Canoe trips over to Minnie's Island will be offered and a bike trip along the tow path.
We will highlight the photographs and paintings that captured special moments along the C&O Canal during the summer's workshops. Bring the kids for face-painting and other activities. All events are free.
For additional information, contact Potomac Conservancy's River Center Coordinator Bridget Chapin, chapin@potomac.org, 301.608.1188, x213.
