JanSport Announces Second Annual Bonfire Sessions

JanSport®, the original outdoor gear Brand that equips people globally with quality backpacks, travel gear and collegiate apparel, today announced its second annual JanSport Bonfire Sessions. Set to take place in three cities across North America this August and September, each stop will connect music fans with the outdoors for this once-in-a lifetime campfire concert featuring a local band playing under the stars.

Beginning with its first tour stop on Saturday, August 27 in Seattle, WA, JanSport’s famed 1967 VW bus will travel across the United States to greet music fans at each of the three event cities, transporting party-goers to each concert locale and back. The subsequent Bonfire Sessions will take place on the weekends of September 10 and 24. JanSport will announce each event city and special guest artist in the subsequent weeks, in addition to concert pick-up locations one day before each event. For up-to-date Bonfire Sessions event information, including event cities, artist reveals and exact pick-up locations for each concert, fans are invited to visit JanSport’s music blog, Unzipped (www.jansport.com/unzipped).

"Last August JanSport celebrated our inaugural Bonfire Sessions event in our birthplace of Seattle, WA, and we were thrilled to feature local Seattle indie-folk band, The Cave Singers," said Courtney Blacker, JanSport Brand Director "It was an unforgettable night enjoyed by fans of the brand and the Cave Singers. We roasted hot dogs, drank some beer and listened to some great music, which is what the JanSport® brand is all about-- connecting youth culture to the outdoors. This year's events will prove just as unforgettable, connecting with music fans as we travel across North America."
