Jug band music is a pre-World War II jazz style that thrived in Louisville from 1890 to 1930. A former public relations executive named Rod Wenz organized the first National Jug Band Jubilee 15-years ago to celebrate that legacy. Every year this event showcases the past/present/future of Jug Band music in Louisville.
The 2019 National Jug Band Jubilee will take place on Saturday, September 14, 2019 at the Brown-Forman Amphitheater in Waterfront Park. The music at begins at 1pm and ends at 11pm. In addition to bands, the Jubilee features other fun activities for kids ages 2 to 82. There is also great local vending, food, beer and wine. And as always, the National Jug Band Jubilee will take a break from the music at 4pm for several workshops. Learn to blow or jug or play a washboard. It's fun for everyone!

This is not technically a CBG event, but I thought it was in the same spirit so folks here might be interested.
