Meredith Bay’s 65th Annual Barbershop Jamboree
The Meredith Bay Barbershop Jamboree returns to Meredith, New Hampshire, August 14–16, for its 65th annual celebration of barbershop harmony. Hosted by the Barbershop Harmony Society, the weekend welcomes singers from across Canada and the Northeastern United States for three days of music, fellowship, and community. Throughout the weekend, visitors can enjoy pop-up performances at Hesky Park, local businesses, and the Meredith Community Center, creating a lively musical atmosphere across town. Whether you’re a longtime barbershop enthusiast or discovering the style for the first time, everyone is invited to experience the fun and camaraderie of the event.
This year’s Jamboree features special performances by BHS International Champion Quartet GQ and WBQA 2026 Quartet Champions Continuum. Friday evening kicks off with “Champs Only” Night, showcasing both award-winning quartets. Originally held in Alton Bay for more than 60 years, the Jamboree moved to Meredith in 2022 and has continued to grow while honoring its long-standing tradition of bringing singers together through barbershop harmony. The EIH Chorus will also make a special guest appearance during Saturday evening’s show and they’d love for you to sing with them! Rehearsal begins at 6:00 PM before the performance.
