Tolchester Beach Bandstand, 7 - 10pm
$5 for members, $10 for non-members

Bring your family, guests, lawn chairs, and blankets for an evening of music, dancing, and fireworks under the stars in historic St. Michaels, featuring the Olney Big Band

The live concert will be performed from the museum’s Tolchester Beach Bandstand. Admission for Big Band Night is $5 for museum members ($10 for non-members), with children under 12 free. Guests entering after 8:45pm for the fireworks will be charged $2 for admission. With a variety of food, non-alcoholic beverages, and desserts offered, guests can also bring their own picnics to campus.

With the St. Michaels fireworks scheduled to launch at dark that evening, the museum’s Navy Point location offers a great land venue from which visitors can enjoy the fireworks. Big Band Night is generously sponsored by The Talbot Bank, Wye Financial & Trust, and Avon Dixon Insurance Agency. For more information, call 410-745-2916 or visit www.cbmm.org/bigband.
