The James Island Band loves participating in the Folly Beach Christmas Parade each year.  This year was no exception! There was much laughter and many smiles to go around. Nothing is quite like Christmas on the beach.

Our Jazz Band helped ring in Holiday spirit, performing at the James Island Festival of Lights and for the Town of James Island Tree Ceremony! What fun!
