The rebirth of the famous Fontana Jamboree, the National Button Accordion Festival (NBAF) will feature three fun-filled days of music, dancing, and jamming over Memorial Day weekend, May 22 to May 24. The festival will take place at the Bessemer Croatian Club, 601 East Poland Ave., Bessemer, PA. The Festival is the successor to the Fontana Button Box Jamboree that was held in Fontana, CA for 26 years. Using the same format, attendees provide the music with musicians taking the stage on a rotating schedule.

Many kinds of accordions (piano, bayan, chromatic, concertina, button box, etc.) and ethnic music styles (Czech, Polish, Slovenian, German, Austrian, Italian, etc.) will be represented.

Bring your accordion and jam with other accordionists! Admission is $10/day, or $25 for a three-day pass. Children 13 and under are free.
