Bay Jammin Series Options:
Okay: What now? Plan for the Bay Jammin Concert & Cinema Series 2021 Season, the New 31st. So we had a hiccup, 2020 season did not happen.
We had to do the same in 2011 for the City Bond work that remodeled the Anderson Amphitheater, the park grounds, fishing pier and so much more. We came back a year later in 2012, better then ever. We can do it again with your needed help.
I guess you're wondering, well how can I as a member of the Corpus Christi Community help out. Well gee whiz, you certainly can. Think of all of those years that you, your family, friends, neighbors and out of town guests have attended the Bay Jammin Concert & Cinema Series at the easily accessible, comfortable, and beautiful Cole Park Anderson Amphitheater looking over our gorgeous Corpus Christi bay front and downtown cityscape.
Our request is that you can also help we a part of the 31st season.. As you are aware the vast majority of our sponsors are local businesses, most are in the food, beverage and entertainment industry. Needless to say they all have had a very difficult time in 2020 and 2021 due to Covid-19 and the Polar Vortex. These terrific small businesses listed on our past seasons' posters and hung on the stage walls these many years have always supported the Bay Jammin Series and the Corpus Christi Community. So please support the Bay Jammin Concert & Cinema Series and our local Corpus Christi Businesses. I know these have been difficult times for all of us, but maybe you can Give a Little for a Lot of Reward. Think of it as a small overdue fee or a gift to the future.
For all of these seasons Past, Present & Future, Free Family Fun = All Kinds of Entertainment for All Kinds of People. Every little bit helps: $5, $10, $20, $50 or $100....big or or small donation, it will all help us meet our goal.

Who would have believed that a conversation over lunch at Cantina Santa Fe in 1989 would result in 30 years of free, quality entertainment for the whole family?
