Changes

It’s that time of year when the [[Jazz Society of Pensacola]] (JSOP) presents its free gift to the City, the annual '''Pensacola JazzFest'''. Twenty-five years ago, JSOP, The Arts Council of NW FL and WUWF founded JazzFest. It has been an annual event since that time, and JSOP has been the producer since 1999. This year’s event, to be held on [[April 5]] and [[April 6|6]] in [[Seville Square]], will feature internationally known artists as well as local performers and regional youth groups.

In summary, JazzFest is good for jazz and it is good for Pensacola. Jazz, America's original art form, gets a little boost in our community; and the 16,000 or so people in our community who attend JazzFest get a little boost from hearing some good music. And then there is the economic impact of visitors from around the U.S. and even foreign countries. Successful festivals, such as Pensacola JazzFest, are good for Pensacola and deserve community support. Learn more by visiting the JSOP website at [http://www.jazzpensacola.com].
