JazzFest on Jackson

Description

JazzFest on Jackson is a free, family-friendly music and art celebration that will take place along West Jackson Avenue. Festival goers will enjoy an authentic and diverse lineup of American roots-inspired jazz, blues, soul and R&B music from local and national performers, along with food, drink, art and an interactive kids’ area. JazzFest on Jackson began as a creative solution to bring the community to West Jackson Avenue during ongoing road closures impacting local businesses. The event will be annual, and the festival’s founders plan to expand upon the 2020 footprint. A portion of the festival’s proceeds will be donated to BreastStrokes, a nonprofit combining women’s empowerment and art to provide financial support to cancer patients during treatment.
