FESTIVAL POSTPONED TO SCHEDULED RAIN DATE: SUNDAY AUG 27
The 40th Annual Seacoast Jazz Festival, in partnership with Prescott Park Arts Festival, with presenting sponsor, Jimmy’s Jazz & Blues Club is back on the Wilcox Main Stage on Sunday, August 27. Headliners Orrin Evans with Special Guest Tia Fuller, and Steven Bernstein with his Millennial Territory Orchestra will make this year’s Jazz Festival unlike any other in its history! We are delighted to present the annual festival that will feature a host of local, regional, and international talent, amplifying the different styles of jazz. The festival has a tremendous history on the seacoast. The first festival was held in 1983 under the name, Portsmouth Jazz Festival. For the last 26 years, it has been known as the Tommy Gallant Jazz Festival, to honor legendary local jazz pianist and composer, Tommy Gallant. It has now become the Seacoast Jazz Festival in the hopes to expand the festival’s reach in the future as a destination event featuring acclaimed jazz artists from around the globe. The Seacoast Jazz Festival is a part of the Prescott Park Arts Festival taking place at Prescott Park in Portsmouth, NH. The Festival has a suggested donation of $10, and is general admission. Picnic blankets and tables can be reserved and rented from the Prescott Park Arts Festival. The Seacoast Jazz Festival is a part of the PortsmouthNH 400 festivities, celebrating with Portsmouth in its 400th year! A sincere thank you to this year’s presenting sponsor, Jimmy’s Jazz & Blues Club, and event sponsors, Morgan Stanley, Michael and Rebecca Harrison, and Live from Matt’s House, LLC. |
