Sunshine District
Labor Day Jamboree
August 30 – September 2, 2024, Orlando, FL
LABOR DAY JAMBOREE
The Sunshine District’s Labor Day Jamboree is a fun-filled event where your family and closest friends can enjoy a long weekend together full of music. Not just any music though, but the sweet sounds of Barbershop Harmony! Over the weekend you choose to participate as much or as little as you’d like. A weekend that you and your family will enjoy floating on a lazy river, playing in the wave pool together, taking some time to visit one of the many nearby attractions, tags, tags, and more tags, and of course – live shows featuring your favorite quartets!
OUR HEADLINER
The Labor Day Jamboree has been a Barbershop tradition in Florida (also known as the Sunshine District to us Barbershoppers) for more than 50 years. LDJ is an amazing weekend and those of us who make the annual pilgrimage thoroughly enjoy adding our shared experiences to that legacy.
Please plan on joining us. You’ll be glad you did.
