Notices of cancellations will be made via our marketing sponsors and on our Facebook Page as soon as possible.

Blankets, chairs, and coolers are welcome. No glass containers are allowed. Dancing is highly encouraged! Dogs are allowed if on a leash or under strict verbal commands. Please help us keep this event open to dogs by picking up after your pooch and keeping them under control at all times.

Alcohol is allowed at the concerts (again, no glass containers, please). Please consume responsibly. Please keep in mind, Bands on the Blackwater is a family-friendly event. Please help us keep it that way while still allowing patrons to BYOB.
