A Festival That’s More Than Music

Now in its 7th year, the Fresh Coast Jazz Festival has quickly become one of the region’s premier music events. This multi-day festival features a dynamic lineup of contemporary jazz artists alongside unique experiences that go beyond the stage.

Attendees can:

• Enjoy live performances from nationally recognized jazz artists like Jonathan Butler, Spyro Gyra, Kandace Springs, and more!

• Set sail on the popular Fresh Coast Cruise for live music on the water.
• Connect with fellow music lovers in a welcoming, relaxed atmosphere.
