PCJ Fri Jul 11: Help Bring the Music: Port City Rock Jam Needs Sponsors
Mark your calendars for the Port City Rock Jam and learn how to get involved.
Good morning Wilmington!
We’re just a few weeks out from Port City Rock Jam, a brand-new family-friendly music festival created by the band Rukus to celebrate local music and community. It all happens on August 2—and there’s still time to get involved. Sponsorships are open, so if you want to support Wilmington’s rising music scene and get your name in front of a local audience, now’s your chance.
Don’t Miss
