Presented by the Downtown Investment Authority, Jazz Fest After Dark, in partnership with the City of Jacksonville and Downtown Vision, Jazz Fest After Dark returns to Downtown Jacksonville this Friday and Saturday. Building on early success and positive feedback, the event extends the Jacksonville Jazz Festival experience for festival goers and introduces them to Downtown’s vibrant nightlife options. Jazz Fest After Dark boasts twelve official host venues with more than twenty acts. Live music will begin at 6 p.m. at certain locations and run until 2 a.m. Friday and Saturday. Entry is free.
“We started Jazz Fest After Dark because we wanted to give Jazz Fest attendees a reason to stay Downtown after the last acts of the day wrapped up” said Jazz Fest After Dark founder, Jason Huckleberry Lewis. “Live music is a big component of Downtown’s Nightlife and gives the local businesses an opportunity to showcase their talents while working with the Jacksonville Jazz Festival.”
