Ridgewood NJ, Jamboree 2021 Mission Impossible Streaming February 4th,5th and 6th. The following is a comment off of a Facebook group which explains what Jamboree is all about and why it is such a worthwhile cause :
“This year marks the 75th show for Ridgewood High School’s Jamboree, one of the great traditions of the Ridgewood community, that raised over $200,000 last year to help Ridgewood families in need with college expenses. Last year alone, 41 families benefited from the money raised.
