Also performing will be The Mack Jazz Band, a talented group of Dare County High Schoolers who will dazzle us with modern and classic Jazz tunes that will have you on your feet and singing along!The outdoor concert will start at 5:30pm and is expected to last a couple of hours. Limited seating will be offered beginning at 5:15 pm. Due to the expected large crowd, people are encouraged to bring their own lawn chair or a blanket to sit on.The Cookhouse Museum is located at 622 Sir Walter Raleigh Street in Manteo, NC, away from the downtown Manteo waterfront.
