The 53rd Annual Jazz Festival presents the opportunity for us to marvel and appreciate the many visitors who journey here to enjoy American music at its best. This annual gathering has become more of a reunion—a celebration of friends, family, culture, music, and life—with the best jazz, pop, blues, soul and R&B performances for more than 50 years.

Each nightly lineup:

Friday—Anthony Hamilton, Stephanie Mills, Trombone Shorty and Orleans Avenue and Jonathan Butler
Saturday—Charlie Wilson, Chris Botti, Avery Sunshine and the Chuck Brown Band
Sunday—Fantasia, Babyface, Kenny G and Peter White

Tickets range from $75 to $100 per night
