Bands on the Barge

06/16/2023

We did our best and tried like hell. We have to throw in the towel this year. We had the insurance squared away and we had the barge being delivered. Emergency response costs for the event would have been way too high. It's a shame, but join us the following weekend for the raft up event in memoriam!

Good morning everyone! We have a need and are hoping some of our friends in the boating community can assist us!

Safety is our biggest concern for this event. We are looking for leads on a way to have a jet ski or 2 donated for the day to assist in the case of emergency response. These are better due to their lack of props and maneuverability over dinghy's.

We are also looking for a couple of dinghy's to use to sell merchandise. We are also looking for people to drive these dinghy's with boating experience. These would probably only go out 2 or 3 times for sales for the day.

Please private message us if you a lead or are the one willing to assist.

Please excuse our site while we continue developing it.

Promoting Recreational Water Safety for All Ages

05/30/2023

As some of you know, back in December/January we decided to attempt to revive everybody's favorite on the water music festival, which won't be happening again. After months of jumping through hoops to lock down insurance and the barge, those seem to be completed. USCG approval is very close as well (due to the fact they had written a very specific set of requirements that allow us to have this event).

This is a new board of people running the event, and a new organization, so therefore we have a new name: Bands On The Barge!

The date for this event is July 15th and it is fast approaching. If anyone would like to volunteer, please reach out to us!
