August 17 at 6:00 p.m. — Scivally Park Bluegrass & Old Time Sunday Jam - Cape Girardeau, MO
“Bring your instrument, your chair, a snack and a cool drink for one of the finest Sunday evening events around. Heck, even if you aren’t a picker, you’ll love to come visit with others by Walker Branch Creek under the shade of some monster hickory trees. What better backdrop than the old time sound of American roots music? There is plenty of room to spread out and relax, and there’s even a playground for the little ones. Open to the public, and always free, so bring the whole family!”
