Outdoor Film on the Stetson Green, Friday, June 19

JAMFest 2015

JAMFest 2015JAMFest comes to campus with an outdoor screening of  Under African Skies, on the Stetson Green, adjacent to the Carlton Union Building, 8 p.m. on Friday, June 19.

This 2012 documentary traces the making of Paul Simon’s 1986 album “Graceland,” which was recorded in South Africa and features a number of musicians from that country. The showing is free and open to the public; free popcorn will be provided, while the supplies last. Bring a blanket or lawn chair and enjoy the music under DeLand skies.

The screening on the Stetson Campus is co-sponsored by the DeLand Area Chamber of Commerce, Enzian Theater, Gillespie Museum, and Mainstreet Art and Culture, DeLand (MACDeLand) . It is one event in a full month of artistic and cultural festivities–including live music, art, spoken word and dance competitions, and Juneteenth celebrations.

This is the second annual June Arts & Multicultural Fest, a series of events bringing together local museums and cultural arts attractions to celebrate the diverse cultures and cultural institutions in our area. From a live filmed concert at the Athens to two full Saturdays of free community programming, including the Juneteenth Celebration at the African American Museum and the Dr. Noble “Thin Man” Watts Amphitheater, the schedule has something, and someplace for everyone. Most events are free; see the full schedule for more details at www.macdeland.com.
