The JAZZ FEST & ART WALK mid-May event is one of the highlights of the spring season – a kind of musical kickoff for the busy summer. It’s deliberately planned to be the same weekend as Art Walk, so you can visit galleries, listen to some of the best musical talent in the region, have lunch, visit more galleries, and hear more music. Stop by just to listen briefly while you’re out on the Art Walk, or bring your own blanket or lawn chairs and camp out for the afternoon to listen to the music. The Jazz Fest is adjacent to the Silver Moon Inn at Performance Park.
Performers and specific schedules are released in March.
