Events

In recent years the Little High Neighborhood has hosted a series of backyard concerts, story telling for children and adults, a garden day, experts on various topics such as the importance of native plants, annual picnics, and assorted political candidates and public officials. Our schedule for 2022 will be posted in this section of the website as soon as it's available.

Blues Night is 7/1

June 30, 2020

901 E. Jefferson (corner of 9th and East Jefferson) at 7pm

7pm – Jack Roy & Wave Milor – Mississippi blues duo

7:25pm – Michael Elswick Quartet – modern & traditional jazz

The Michael Elswick Quartet is Michael Elswick on sax, Bill Edmonds on guitar, Bob Bowen on bass, and David Driving on drums.

Bring your own chair. This event is only going to last for about one hour and it will likely start promptly at 7pm.

Please Practice Social Distancing

Everyone did a great job of social distancing at the first concert, so let’s keep up the good work. These backyard concerts were begun largely in an effort to provide a safe setting so our high risk residents and those who don’t want to take chances could get outside and enjoy the music and the company of their neighbors. So please be respectful of your neighbors and, if you have any doubt about whether you should wear a mask, read this.

Family Music Night is on for this Tuesday (6/23)

June 22, 2020

Assuming the weather holds*, Family Music Night is on for this Tuesday, June 23, at 7pm at 1107 E. Jefferson Street.

The line-up for this first ever Little High Neighborhood outdoor concert is:

Herb & Sumner (should already be in Nashville)
The MNMs (a very talented family instrumental group)
Amazing singer-songwriter Anya Movius

This event is already being hailed as the Woodstock of Charlottesville’s Upper East Side. But come see for yourself.

Please Practice Social Distancing

The Coronavirus has not gone away and is on the upswing in more than 20 states, mostly because people have not been social distancing. So if you are feeling at all sick, please stay home. If you attend, please stand at least 6 feet apart from people not in your household or pod and please wear a mask.

We ask people to practice social distancing at this event so everyone in the neighborhood will feel welcome. One of the major goals of these small neighborhood musical gatherings is to create a safe space for residents who have been reluctant to venture out because of concerns about the Coronavirus.

EVERY legitimate medical authority in the entire world recommends wearing a mask in public gatherings. You are not smarter than they are, so please just do it. If you would like to attend but do not have a mask, please write to me asap and I will make every effort to provide you with one.

Also, the Hell’s Angels have been hired to provide security at Tuesday’s event and will be on the lookout for people not practicing proper social distancing.

* In the event of rain, please check this website for last minute updates.

Family Music Night Rescheduled

June 15, 2020

The weather forecast for the bulk of this week is great for ducks and swamp-dwelling creatures but not so good for outdoor performances, so the neighborhood music performance originally planned for this Wednesday (6/17) has been rescheduled.

The new date is Tuesday, June 23 (still at 7pm and still awesome). [Read more…]

Garden Day

June 3, 2020

Our neighborhood’s first ever Garden Day on May 16 was a success! Roughly 40 neighborhood residents showed off their lovely gardens and / or got out and took a safe* self-guided tour of the neighborhood. Several residents even expressed an interest in doing it again later in the summer.
