This multi-generational festival has been successfully marketed to showcase artistic expression, new music makers and musicians, both young and old, and will continue in its fourth year to emphasize the importance of teaching the history of traditional and smooth jazz and other genres while uniquely appealing and engaging individuals as we celebrate the importance of art and music.  This unique festival will bring together talented artists and musicians from the North Florida area, surrounding areas, and the nation for three days of fun-filled activities, games, music, workshops, food vendors, and retail vendors.
