All Jolson Fans, Friends, and Family:
After being shut down by a pandemic, and resorting to several Virtual Festivals, the IAJS is coming back together this year in the City of Brotherly Love, Philadelphia, to celebrate the 100th Anniversary of The Jazz Singer. We plan to have all of the Festival activities that our members have loved over the years. Starting with Thursday Karaoke at a free two hour cocktail party (which is held nightly), and The Heart of Al Jolson, Tony Babino, with Mr. Tin Pan Alley, Richard Halpern, as part of the entertainment. Daytime sessions and those unique auction items will make this a memorable weekend. We need you to join us! So many have asked for one more chance to get together, and enjoy the legacy of Al Jolson, and this is your chance.
Tentative Schedule
Thursday evening Karaoke
Friday and Saturday daytime presentations
Friday and Saturday night Dinner and Shows
Saturday afternoon Society Auction
Sunday morning Society Meeting and awards
Delicious Dinners included with both
Friday and Saturday Night Shows!
Full entertainment schedule to be announced soon, tentatively to include Tony B and Richard Halpern!
