OCTOBER 10, 2024: CELEBRATION BRASS BAND

While Guilford’s historic Christ Church (1817) is closed for renovations, the Christ Church Society has been presenting events outdoors on the church lawn. Join them for the final event of 2024, with Celebration Brass Band.
The program starts with a prelude: a talk by Guilford’s Linda Hay in the Christ Church Cemetery, at 4:30 pm. Meet at the nearby gravesite of Gen. John Phelps, one of Guilford’s most interesting historical (and national!) figures: Civil War hero, Presidential candidate, abolitionist. Then at 5:00 pm the Celebration Brass Band will play an appropriate funeral dirge to lead us to the adjacent lawn for a concert of New Orleans music.

​Bring a blanket or lawn chair. Admission is free with donations welcome for the band and the church renovation. Refreshments courtesy of the Guilford Country Store & Cafe. Be there!
