FIRST BRIDGE BAND PERFORMANCE 3-4:30PM The band MAKES HISTORY LIVE by presenting period brass band music, performed on antique instruments. Attired in uniforms and gowns, the Band’s musicians, color guard, and costumed ladies take you back to the 1860’s; to that turbulent era known as the Civil War. A nostalgic portrayal of the atmosphere of days gone by is generated by a unique form of showmanship that blends the sights and sounds of the period with historical anecdotes.

Pack up your blankets, chairs and snacks and play bingo in the parks! Prizes will be awarded to game winners. Cards and markers will be provided. Families and individuals welcome!
