Details
Last-minute post: Come dance under the stars Friday evening to famed Latin pop/rock band Ocho de Bastos. A 3-hour twilight delight in Gaithersburg! READ MORE below...
OVERVIEW
If you're not already familiar, Ocho de Bastos (translation: Eight of Clubs) is an amazing local band with a huge meetup following. They play familiar pop and rock songs with an infectious Latin twist to packed dance floors. The band features a Carlos Santana-style guitar sound blended with powerful Latin percussion and catchy brass riffs. The energetic and engaging lead singer guides giddy audiences through Latin-inspired dance moves in the process. More info about the band can be found on Wikipedia and their official website.
THE DETAILS
Location
The event takes place at the outdoor Spectrum Stage in Performers Park, located next to Barking Mad Cafe (239 Spectrum Ave, Gaithersburg, MD). Ample free parking is available on nearby streets, surface lots, and garages. The venue has a professional stage surrounded by a large turf-covered village square.
Food Options
The Spectrum development is host to many restaurants, both full service and quick serve. See the full selection HERE.
Waste Options:
Let's face it, during a 3-hour show, nature is apt to call. If ya gotta go, the above restaurants have facilities to serve your needs.
Seating
The plaza is relatively small and can fill quickly. Please bring a camp chair or blanket to ensure there's a place to put your butt when you're not dancing. The band plays from 6 to 9 pm. Arrive earlier if possible to ensure optimum seating.
Finding Us
If enough people sign up, your host (Carl, aka PapaDuck), will float a large yellow duckling balloon to help you locate us. Otherwise, I'll just post our location when I arrive. Unfortunately I can't save seating space for everyone, but we'll all be in the same vicinity and enjoy friendship, a shared love of incredible live music, and a beautiful end-of-summer night in great company.
Thanks for your time and attention. We hope to see and dance and celebrate with you Friday evening! :)
