Orlando Jazz Festival
The
Orlando Jazz
Festival
is one of great free Orlando events of the year. College Park, located
in north Orlando, hosts this Annual Jazz
Festival. This is a free event, but donations are welcomed - $5 per
person is
appreciated.
Now into its 10th year, the College Park JazzFest has established
itself as the largest annual event in College Park, with over 4,000 in
attendance last year. With two stages, this year’s lineup features
Central Florida’s finest
jazz musicians including Miss Jackie Jones, The Cook Trio, Bracher
Brown and the Mourning Sons, Shak Nasti and local duos and trios.
As a nonprofit event, the JazzFest is sponsored by a handful of local
companies including Florida Hospital, Orange Cycle, and WildSide Bar
& Grille.
Returning this year is Tijuana Flats, one of two stage sponsors.
“It was an easy decision to come back as a sponsor this year,” said
Brandy Blackwell, Marketing Manager for Tijuana Flats. “It’s an
important event for the community and we love being a part of it.”
This year
Tijuana Flats will have a vendor booth, beer specials, and a
prize wheel available to those who attend.
A five dollar donation from every adult is required for admission, with
40 percent of the donation going to charitable and community
organizations such as the I-Dignity and Monarch Learning Academy.
Tickets are available to purchase beforehand as well as the day.
Reserved tables of 10 are available for $200, $250 after Oct. 1, which
includes the price of admission, a pre-ordered menu from local
restaurants and two bottles of Naked Grape wine. There is also a table
decorating contest with prizes for first, second and third place.
