Once a month there is a community music night, Music in the Park, hosted by the Friends of Anastasia State Park, yes at Anastasia State Park in St. Augustine, FL. Music in the Park is usually the second Saturday of the month starting at 6 PM, remember to set your calendar as it is always a fun event.

Monthly Music Jam/Open Mic
at Anastasia State Park |
So here we are at the August event which happens rain or shine. NOTE: The show is cancelled if there is a lightening storm. And this actually happened in September show. Although some were unhappy it was the best plan because who wants to become a victim of Mother Nature? Certainly not I.

August saw a change in the format by adding a sound system so the audience could hear the performers. The addition of microphones and speakers was wonderful, now the main performer could be heard while others provided a back-up band. So, it was still a jam or song circle of sorts where each person performed a tune or two and others listened or played along.

The jam morphed into a quasi open mic
this seemed to suit everyone |
The core music group comes from the Friends of Anastasia State Park, Park Volunteers, and the Park Rangers. The musical talent is amazing.
It is also a popular event with local musicians who are frequent participants in the jam.
And, it provides an opportunity for campers to explore their musical talents and sometimes select this weekend for their trip.
