The first-ever JP Music Festival is Saturday, August 20 in Boston’s Jamaica Plain neighborhood. This afternoon and evening event will feature Jamaica Plain-based musicians from 1-7 PM at the Pinebank Baseball Field near Jamaica Pond, beside the intersection of Perkins Street and The Riverway.
The festival will host 20-25 musical artists and acts, all of who have at least one member as a resident of Jamaica Plain. Two stages will rotate 15-20 minute performances, giving a greater number of acts a chance to perform and gain new fans. Working with local sponsors and individual contributors, the event will be free for the general public to attend and welcomes all age groups.
An after party will be held at Midway Café, from 7 PM to 2 AM, located at 3496 Washington Street in Jamaica Plain, where additional musical acts will perform.
