Noon to 8 p.m. Saturday. Bicentennial Park, 50 West Main St., Denmark, $25. denmarkarts.org
Denmark Arts Center is bringing back its Dam Jam event in a huge way this year. Gates open at noon, and a ton of fun will get packed into eight hours. On the music front, you’ll hear kids’ rock from Bee Parks & The Hornets, then sets from The Mallett Brothers Band and Jason Spooner Band. Kids will have a blast with several art projects, and everyone can enjoy stilt-walkers, Neveah Dance Circus, vaudeville skits and traditional crafts including wood-carving and fly-tying. When hunger hits, stroll on over to the food trucks, including Street Eats and Ironclad Eats.
