A representative for the Lowcountry Jazz Festival noted, “After months of unprecedented change (or lack of) you DESERVE a weekend of world-class smooth jazz, and the finest Lowcountry cuisine. The Lowcountry Jazz Festival and the City of Charleston welcome you back on Labor Day weekend! Experience the culture that makes visitors return year after year. With some of the world’s best musicians, great dining options, sophisticated shopping, and rich history, there is no argument why The Lowcountry Jazz Festival and Charleston, SC provide one of the top American travel destinations.”
