Summer is upon us, and that means Summer Jam! The 2019 Summer Jam Series kicked off May 17 at the city building. The Roustabouts played their blues-fiddle music, Smoke Rattle & Roll BBQ came over from East Maryland to serve up some smoked treats, and local favorite Streetcar 82 Brewing Co. served their brews. There was something for the kids, too: balloon animals by Mandy the Clown, face painting and the bounce house!

The next Summer Jam will take place June 21.
