Dixieland Jazz Benefit Party — 4th Sunday in April

Since 1978, The Arc has been a part of the Dixieland Jazz Benefit Party (Also known as the Mother Lode Hot Jazz Party). This wonderful tradition takes place in and around Jackson, California on the last weekend in April each year. Dixieland musicians from all over California play at several venues each year. This event is widely regarded as one of the finest small festivals of this type anywhere in the world. Bands at various indoor and outdoor entertainment venues.

To be added to our Dixieland mailing list please email us at thearc@volcano.net or call us at 209-267-5978. The Arc receives a percentage of the Dixieland proceeds based on the number of badges we sell. If you can not attend this event you might consider purchasing a badge for someone in our Recreation Program. Just write "Recreation Program" on your badge order and we will see to it that the badges go to someone in our program who could not otherwise afford to go. Thank you!
