July Jam has

been extended to two days this year, with many rides and activities added.

This year's free concert on the square will feature last year's favorite

act, the Coastline Band, back by popular demand. Free Shag lessons will

begin at 7 p.m., and The Coastline Band will perform at 8 p.m.

"They've

been referred to as the 'future of Carolina Beach Music,' and whether

you're there to dance, listen or just watch the band perform, you bet

on having a good time," said Main Street Manager Nancy Price.

The fun begins

Saturday morning at 10 a.m. and lasts through 10 p.m. that evening. All

kids rides and craft and food booths will be open throughout the concert

this year. This is the first year July Jam has extended its operating

hours into the evening.

Rides will

include a Ferris Wheel, Round-Up, the Bear Affair, Granny Bug, and Tempest.

Kids can also enjoy "The Titanic" slide, Noah's Arc, a giant

obstacle course, the "Rain Room," as well as a rock-climbing

wall and trackless train.

The "Giant

Sandbox" sponsored by Toys R Us will return this year, and is always

a big hit with the kids. Shoe Carnival will also be sponsoring two different

moonwalks.

Radio Disney

will be hosting the Kids Tent Saturday from 2-4 p.m. with fun contests

and games. There will also be magic shows, puppet shows, puppet-making

workshops and local entertainment happening all day long both Saturday

and Sunday.

Admission to

July Jam and the concert is free. All proceeds from July Jam go toward

funding the historical renovation and revitalization efforts within the

Main Street district.

July Jam and

other Main Street activities are funded in part by annual sponsors. This

year's presenting sponsors are Allan Vigil Ford and The Atlanta Coca-Cola

bottling Company.
