Hello Music Friends!

It looks like it might be a rainy Staunton Jams this weekend, so sign up for busking as you are comfortable, and feel free to bow out if the weather is inhospitable. Here is the Google Doc sign-up form link for Saturday, May 4th, 2024: https://docs.google.com/document/d/117VqHkg9e5WcUOqeV0iSfcO9VBbmk0KtjoZ1eaeS95Q/edit?usp=sharing

The forcast for Friday, May 3rd looks fantastic, so if anyone would like to busk on Friday, you can sign up for a slot and location on the City's Street Performance application site: https://www.stauntondowntown.org/street-performers
- There are TWO applications to fill out: 1.) a blanket acoustic street performance permit request that's good all year 2.) a date and location specific permit request that will get you on the public street performances calendar.
- Keep in mind that Beverley Street closes to vehicular traffic at 4pm on Friday for folks to set up for "Shop and Dine Out," so parking is available on intersecting streets, the two parking garages, the Wharf lot.

We're looking forward to a FANTASTIC weekend, and outdoor music season!! See you out there!

Love,
Molly Rose Murphy
