Last year, several members of the Chamber’s Young Professionals Group (YPG) approached us about our interest in their sponsoring a concert the Saturday evening of festival week. Although we had an evening concert as a venue at MUMFEST many years ago, we were very interested since many visitors are interested in going to an event when the festival mid-way closes at 6:30 pm on Saturday evening. The YPG group is a reasonably new group, organized by the Chamber of Commerce, to create a networking organization of dedicated, talented young professionals between the ages of 21 and 40. In addition to networking, the goal is to encourage young professionals to get involved in current issues, develop leadership qualities and provide an outlet to work together on a common goal.
The 1st Annual YPG River Jam featuring Chairman of the Board was a great success. Approximately 600 people attended the evening concert held on the waterfront adjacent to the BridgePointe Hotel and Marina.
We’re pleased to announce, they are sponsoring the YPG River Jam again. The Band of Oz is the headliner along with Billie Holton and the Soul Shakers and The Switch. Information on locations to purchase advance tickets and other details will be available in the near future on our website mumfest.com.
Our hats are off to this energetic group. We are happy to include this venue under the umbrella of mumfest.
