Jazz Town at Cherry St. Pier

Whether you joined us recently at DCLX, Flavors of the Ave., or a few days ago with Jillian Ashcraft, we're looking forward to seeing you again this weekend for more live music and dancing.

The Philly x Baltimore Lindy Hop weekend festival Jazz Town concludes this Sunday at Cherry St. Pier with a special edition of Rittenhop featuring local favorite bandleader Ben Cohen.

This dance is free to attend, so bring your outdoor dancing shoes and we'll see you there. Note: the ceiling is covered, so rain will not impact us.

— Ben

(I am not Ben Cohen, please stop asking me if I'm playing drums this weekend, y'all 😂)
