WOODBRIDGE - The Jolly Beggars bring the rich tradition of Celtic folk music and storytelling to modern day audiences. 

Based out of Connecticut, their traditional songs and musical arrangements have exposed many to the joys of Celtic music. They tell traditional stories from Irish folklore and intersperse their musical arrangements with traditional reels and jigs. 

Characterized by their tight harmonies and use of guitars, mandolin, tin whistles, octave mandolin, mandola, tenor banjo, double bass, bodhran, spoons, and more, The Jolly Beggars have quickly built a solid following and continue to spread their music around the East coast.
The band performs music that is largely Celtic in origin (Irish and Scottish), with some pieces coming from an extension of that music in other cultures.

This is an outdoor event at Massaro Community Farm, 41 Ford Road.

Chairs and blankets are encouraged though some seating will be provided. COVID-19 safety protocols will be in place. Please wear a mask when entering and exiting the farm. Outdoor restrooms available.
BYO food and drink allowed. Family friendly.
