August Jazz Series at Spruce St. Harbor

The July live band swing dance series at Spruce St. Harbor Park wrapped up last Friday with a bang! We're back with more live bands, this time with more of a listening/hangout vibe, and two bands per night. There will still be opportunities to dance at each show.

Also, Park Bench Band is back for another Rittenhop next Sunday August 10.

Upcoming Events

Spruce St. Harbor - August Jazz Series

Tomorrow - Fri. Aug. 1 - Jillian Ashcraft and Hiruy Tirfe
6pm: Beginner Lesson
7pm - 10pm: Live music and dancing!

Come to Spruce St. Harbor Park via Spruce st., turn right when you see the hammocks, the stage is past the bar—can't miss it.

This event is free and all ages (and dog-friendly). There is a bar, nearby snacks on the boardwalk, and ample seating at the venue. Dance floor is slow uneven wood, or gravel, if you so choose. Sun typically sets by 7 and it cools off considerably by the end of the night. Light rain will not cancel this event since the stage is covered.

Sun. Aug. 3 - DJ'd Rittenhop. Lower 80℉ and sunny—not bad! Join us in the southwest corner of Rittenhouse Square. Billy the goat statue misses you (you never call!)
1pm: Short beginner lesson
