All are welcome — RSVP appreciated but not required!

About the Music

The Baltimore Pop-Up Jazz Jam started in September 2020 in response to COVID-19 social distancing restrictions. The closure of bars and venues throughout Baltimore left a massive gap in performance options for the music community, especially students.

Held at different green spaces across the city every Thursday evening from April to October, the Baltimore Pop-Up Jazz Jam provides an opportunity for musicians of all levels to play together for enthusiastic community audiences.

About the Farm

FAB's Black Butterfly Teaching Farm is our hub for food production, farmer training, and community connection in South Baltimore. With support from the City of Baltimore, we signed a 15-year lease in 2021 and planted our first crops in Curtis Bay that fall. In 2025, a generous grant allowed us to continue construction and expansion of the farm site, which now includes a greenhouse, a high tunnel, and an apiary, with more to come, including more space for workshops and community gatherings, new facilities to train the next generation of urban growers, and more growing areas to support a wider variety of crops year-round.

We envision the Black Butterfly Teaching Farm as a place where we can grow food for Baltimore and cultivate a space where neighbors, FAB members, and aspiring growers can come together to exchange knowledge, build skills, and strengthen community.
