Island Jam added to list of performers |
|
 The Atlantic City Free Public Library has added popular local group Island Jam to the schedule for the library's Family Fun Festival on Saturday, Sept. 26.
Island Jam presents a show of contrasts. One minute hula girls are gracefully dancing to slow and relaxing Polynesian music, and the next the group turns up the heat and energy, pounding away on the drums as the male members perform a warrior dance or sensational fire dancing exhibition.
The festival will be held at the Main Library, located at One North Tennessee Avenue, rain or shine. The festival is free. Call (609) 345-2269, ext. 3112, for more information.
