1st Saturday in Downtown Salisbury will feature Alex & Shiloh Band, with a special encore performance from award winning local beatboxer JFlo, on Saturday from 4 to 7 p.m. on the steps of the Government Office Building.

Sponsored by Salisbury Neighborhood Housing Services, 1st Saturday in June, held on North Division Street, will hopefully be the first outdoor event of the season.

“We’ve had some bad luck so far this year with excessive rain,” said Sarah Rayne, co-chair of 1st Saturday. “Hopefully, the rain will hold off. If not, we’ll move indoors, to one of our Downtown partners.”

Check 1st Saturday’s Facebook page for up-to-date information regarding relocation of the event.

Alex & Shiloh are a brother and sister duo who “combine an acoustic guitar, off-the-chart vocals, a bottomless repertoire of cover songs, borderline excessive amounts of sibling love, and original compositions for good measure,” according to their Facebook page. Alex & Shiloh will be accompanied by additional musicians for this performance.

Also performing is JFlo, a nationally-renowned beatbox champion who was launched into the local spotlight after his performance at TEDx SBY earlier this year. JFlo performed during the April 1st Saturday event, and was so impressive that he’s been invited to return for an encore performance.

Alex & Shiloh Band will play from 4 to 7 p.m. JFlo will perform during the set break, from 5:30 to 6 p.m.

During the June 4 event, the Salisbury Jaycees will be selling beer and wine to raise money for their various community projects. Alcohol will only be permitted in the street area, and not on the lawn, which is the spectator area. No alcohol will be permitted to leave the event and no outside alcohol will be allowed into the event.

All attendees are asked to bring a donation for Operation We Care, a locally-based nonprofit organization that sends care packages and supports our military, law enforcement and fire/EMS. A list of the most needed items can be found at www.operationwecare.org. 1st Saturday will collect donations for Operation We Care throughout the entirety of its 2016 season.

This year 1st Saturday will host a different food truck every month for the convenience of its attendees. This month’s food truck is The Polish Connection, offering “wholesome, handmade Old World Polish Food using the recipes passed down from generation to generation,” according to their Facebook page. Downtown restaurants will also be open and offering carry out. Attendees are asked to dispose of their trash in one of the many trash receptacles provided by the City of Salisbury. There will also be receptacles labeled for recycling.
