MICHIGAN CITY – Save the Dunes announces their annual benefit concert, Jammin with Save the Dunes, date of September 19, 2026. Held in in Michigan City’s Millenium Plaza, this live music family friendly event is all about coming together to celebrate nature and have a blast while supporting a cause that matters. Proceeds benefit the Save the Dunes mission of protecting and advocating for the Indiana Dunes, Lake Michigan, and the surrounding natural areas for the health and vitality of the environment, and the people who live, work, and recreate in Northwest Indiana. There will be food from regional food trucks and drinks available.
This year’s musical lineup offers something for everyone. Local crowd-pleaser Nawty will be headlining the event playing a multigenerational cover and variety set that will have you dancing. The Joliet Jakes will also be taking the stage with their R&B and Soul set featuring a full lineup of rhythm, horns and Blues Brothers type hits.
VIP ticket holders will also have a special performance by long time Jammin performer Robert Rolfe Feddersen as he jams out on an Emita II boat cruise on Lake Michigan courtesy of Harbor Country Adventures.
