The 104.5 Winter Jam at the Piazza at Schmidt’s featuring the bands Valencia, Bayside and Terrible Things went on this year despite the over a foot of snow  in the open-air plaza during the week leading up to the event. Crews worked diligently to clear it out in time for the show to go on.
Crowds started arriving a full two hours before Terrible Things, a local West Chester pop rock super-group, kicked things off. The Winter X-Games were broadcast on the 40’ outdoor screen between performances, while attendees were also invited to snowboard on a terrain park inside the Piazza sponsored by BC Ironworks.
The afternoon also included performances by Valencia, a local Philadelphia band and Bayside from Queens, NY. The event was similar to the monthly summer block parties also held at the Piazza.
