SummerScape 2026 | Jake's Americana Bluegrass Band | MOVED INDOORS

In-person

DUE TO PREDICTED INCLEMENT WEATHER,
TONIGHT'S SUMMERSCAPE PERFORMANCE HAS BEEN MOVED INDOORS TO OUR LARGE MEETING ROOM
DOORS WILL OPEN AT 6:30 PM | FIRST COME, FIRST SEATED

The Lewes Public Library presents SummerScape 2026, featuring twelve live performances in our outdoor pavilion beginning June 3rd. All events start at 7:00 PM.

Tonight's performance is Jake’s Americana Bluegrass Band.

Experience the joy, rhythm, and rich tradition of bluegrass music in a performance that celebrates America’s musical roots. With origins in Irish, English, and Scottish folk styles, bluegrass music has been an integral part of American culture since its arrival in the 1600s. Rooted in rural traditions and shaped by slave songs, gospel, and blues, bluegrass evolved into a uniquely American art form.

This program is part of Lewes 250, a commemoration of America’s 250th anniversary, honoring our town’s rich past and bright future. Lewes 250 brings neighbors, visitors, and local organizations together in celebration of the “First Town in the First State.”

New this year:

No registration required! First come, first seated.

Open seating under and around the pavilion, and on the grass. Plenty of room for all!

Guests are welcome to bring their own lawn chairs or blankets, or borrow one of the library’s folding chairs. Note: To help maintain clear sightlines for all, guests with higher-backed chairs are kindly asked to sit toward the back of the pavilion.

Picnics are welcome!

In case of inclement weather, the performance will be in the large meeting room of the library. That decision will be made by 1:00 PM the day of the scheduled event and posted on the library’s website and social media (Facebook and Instagram). Seating in the large meeting room will be first-come, first seated in chairs we will provide.
