FREE ENTRY LIVE MUSIC EVENT!

Over 20 years ago, the community grew from people meeting in parks for unamplified jams like “King of the Jam,” where the winner actually took home a pot of jam! So now it’s time to bring that summer jam spirit back.

We’re celebrating the scene with a day of ZERO battles. Instead, we’ll focus on collaboration, networking, creativity and YOU performing and making music together on a MASSIVE stage.

12.00PM - 13.00PM (LUNCHTIME) FREE KIDS & FAMILY BEATBOX & VOCAL ARTS WORKSHOP FOR ALL

5:00 PM – 9:00 PM MAIN EVENING EVENT

Expect:

• Open mic sessions

• Vocalists, MCs, and singer-songwriters joining the jam

• Special guest performances and showcases throughout the evening

• A creative, community-focused atmosphere

If you work with musicians, singers, MCs, or other performers then bring them along and get involved!*

* More information on how to sign up for the Open Mic slots, details will follow shortly. Keep an eye on the UKBC (UK Beatbox Championships) socials
