The Swampland Jewels - Maquoketa Summer Concert Series

Whew! What better way to bid good-bye to an amazing summer of music in Main Street but with some rollicking, infectious, can't-stop-dancing Cajun/Creole/Tex-Mex tunes.

The Swampland Jewels weave blues, roots with a touch of Czech flair -- spanning Iowa to the Gulf Coast and a stop in Austin, Texas. 

Their eponymous debut album is available from Bandcamp, and was supported in part by the Iowa Arts Council and the National Endowment for the Arts. Check their video here!

Pulido's Tacos food truck at 5:30. Music at 6:00. Free admission. Family-friendly. Bring lawn chairs. From 4:00-9:30 PM, Main Street will be closed between Make A Splash and Smiles on Main.
