Jazz Fest After Dark will be returning as part of the Jacksonville Jazz Festival this weekend.
Eight official host venues will be offering more than 16 acts.
“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,” Lewis said in an email to WJCT News.
