5.27.2022 Jubilation Day Brings Gospel Music to City Hall Concert Pavilion

Gaithersburg, MD (May 24, 2022) Gospel music, the uniquely American art form that gave rise to jazz, blues, R&B, and rock and roll, will be celebrated to the highest as the City of Gaithersburg presents the 16th Annual Jubilation Day Gospel Concert. On Saturday, June 11, 2022, from 3 to 7 p.m., the Concert Pavilion at City Hall will host performances of all styles of Gospel, Christian and uplifting music by local and regional artists. The event will also feature an acknowledgement of the upcoming Juneteenth Holiday.

This year's featured performer is The Chosen Vessels, a local group from Pleasant Grove Christian Community Church of Damascus, MD.  The group, under the leadership of Nathan Cooper, Jr., was inspired by God to praise his name in song. Their most requested songs, which they have performed throughout Maryland, Virginia and Washington, DC, include "Standing in the Safety," "What a Fellowship," "Faith in Jesus Christ," "I've Learned How to Live Right," and "He Changed Me."

The celebration will also feature food and crafts for purchase and raffle drawings for fun prizes. Winners must be present.  

Gaithersburg's Concert Pavilion is located at 31 South Summit Avenue in front of City Hall. Admission to Jubilation Day is free. The outdoor venue features lawn seating with limited chairs. Please feel free to bring your own low chair or blanket. The event is sponsored in part by the Maryland State Arts Council, Allied Party Rentals, and Subway of Olde Towne.

Outdoor music continues throughout the summer at the City Hall Concert Pavilion with weekly Wednesday morning Children’s Concerts at 10:30 a.m. in June and July. Thursday evenings heat up at the Concert Pavilion with Evenings in Olde Towne at 6:30 p.m. in June, July and September.
