In addition to listening to three days of free music with a street festival and art show, the Jacksonville Jazz Festival represents an opportunity to experience some of Downtown’s year-round businesses.
More than 40 restaurants, clubs and retailers are offering discounts and special food and drink menus Friday-Sunday to give festival-goers another reason to explore the neighborhood.
The Northbank’s signature hotels, the Hyatt Regency Riverfront and the Omni Jacksonville, also have scheduled jazz-related activities.
The Hyatt will host a late-night club experience, the “’Round Midnight Jazz Jam,” with the Kelly-Scott Quintet from 10 p.m.-2 a.m. Friday and Saturday.
At the Omni, a Sunday “Jazz Brunch” will be served with live entertainment by the Bill Hart Trio. Seatings are 10:30 a.m., noon and 1: 30 p.m.
