The Deltaville Maritime Museum and Holly Point Nature Park have cancelled their Saturday June 27th Honeywind Bluegrass Boys/Good Shot Judy Concert due to the Phase II , Virginia Covid virus restriction limits on gatherings and concern for our members, friends, and health and safety of our visitors.. The concert, which is part of the 2020 “Groovin’ in the Park” outdoor music series, has been rescheduled for the 5-8pm Saturday August 1st.
Both “Good Shot Judy” and the Honeywind Band are really anxious to play at our beautiful outdoor venue and are working with us as we all adjust our schedule. The Board and staff of the Museum know all of you are hoping to be able to get out of the house for a fun event. We just want to be sure it is a safe event.
Assuming the Phase III loosening of Covid restrictions comes as predicted allowing the Waterfront 50% of capacity(around 400), the July 25th “Back to Woodstok” special Groovin’ will happen with the rescheduled concert the Saturday following.
After that the originally planned rest of the schedule(check our website) would continue with:
Saturday, August 22nd: 5-6pm-the Flat-Tones, Dancin’ to the “Oldies”
6-8pm- “Stuck on a Name” Reggae, Reggae, Reggae
Saturday, Sept 5th: Bonus Groovin’ 5-6pm- Toby Gillie and the “Unpredictables”
6-8pm- the Josh Walker Quartet with Sharon Rae North “Fly me to the Moon”
Saturday, Sept 26th: 6-8 pm The “Tom Euler Band” , Blues at its best.
Every effort is being made to hold the full 7 concert season using rescheduling. We are working with the artists to make this happen.With the uncertainty of the state of the virus restrictions as we move forward, the Museum and staff are doing our best to possibly work in some pop-up Groovin’s to make up for the ones already cancelled. The longer the capacity restriction is in place the more difficult this becomes. Keep an eye on this paper and our website, www.deltavillemuseum.com for updates.
Regardless of when we resume our schedule, be sure that the Museum, volunteers and staff will mark out spacing gridlines, have hand sanitizing stations and any other “safe practice’ advised at that time in place for the concerts. We will suggest strongly for those attending to bring their own lawn chair if at all possible.
The Maritime Park wants all of its members and friends to please, please, practice social distancing, limit travel, wear face masks in public and follow all other current guidelines to stay safe and well. I know we all are looking forward to us all getting together again soon.
As the Park’s members advance discount ticket package is normally over at the season’s first concert, we extend the discount offer until the first concert of the season. At the present time that would be the July 25th “ Back to Woodstok” special performance.” beginning at 5pm. Watch this paper and our website for updates as we get closer.
Currently the Museum itself is closed until at least the end of July 15th, Museum staff is working remotely to monitor and answer messages and keep the website current. Please check the website and this paper for the current status.
