The 45th Annual Atlanta Jazz Festival is set to take place in Piedmont Park over Memorial Day weekend and will include three days of show-stopping performances from world-renowned musicians and innovative emerging jazz artists.
“Atlanta’s Jazz Festival is one of the largest and longest running free jazz concerts in the country and this year will be no different,” said Atlanta Mayor Andre Dickens. “I am an avid music fan, and attendees are going to be in for a treat. This is definitely going to be a good time.”
Dickens also announced sponsors and partners for the festival, including: Amazon, Georgia Power, PNC Bank, AARP, Fontis Mountain Spring Water, Tito’s Handmade Vodka, Anteel Premium Tequila, Atlanta Convention and Visitors Bureau, Coca-Cola, MARTA and Next Week Productions.
