Chincoteague Cultural Alliance September Events
Greetings from the musicocentric Island of Chincoteague!
Let's call it like it is, the Chincoteague Cultural Alliance has brought an amazing feast of musical and artistic riches to Chincoteague this summer. With the coming of cooler days and nights, one's taste runs to slightly more savory musical dishes and the coming months promise an array of offerings to satisfy your changing appetite. I apologize for not posting this in time for some of the events, but I'm letting them stand so that one can see the spectacles that were missed. Never fear, there is more to come!
