James City County Government Center recently issued the following announcement.
The Deloreans, known as America’s Favorite 80’s Show Band, takes the stage in the Jamestown Jams concert series on Aug. 27. Put on your best 80s outfit and join us for this seasoned showband comprised of six distinct vocalists who cover the most memorable artists and nostalgic songs of the 80s.

James City County is partnering with The Arc of Greater Williamsburg (The Arc) to offer the free concert series. The Arc will be selling assorted beer and all proceeds benefit their local activities and programs. The Arc has proudly served adults with developmental disabilities in our community since 1976. Now in their 43rd year, The Arc serves young adults as they age out of special education at age 22 and continue serving these adults through their lives. They provide 8-10 monthly, evening activities as well as a Day Support Program. Programs and activities also provide respite time for caregivers.
