“TheMusic wasBliss.”

Among the 11 artists making their festival debuts this year is jazz and funk guitarist Cory Wong; eight-piece psychedelia and funk fiery band St. Paul & The Broken Bones; jazz and rock drum dynamo Cindy Blackman Santana; and “Silky-voiced rising jazz star” (New York Times) Samara Joy, fresh off her 2023 GRAMMY® win as Best New Artist.

In addition to two non-stop days of great music on SPAC’s Amphitheater Stage and the more intimate Charles R. Wood “Jazz Discovery” Stage, fans can mill about the fine arts and crafts fair full of local and artisan made items, get their posters or albums signed by their favorite artists, and enjoy this year’s new and diverse food offerings like the oyster and seafood bar, New Orleans cuisine, and traditional BBQ.

Tickets are available at www.SPAC.org where you can also find the full festival line-up. Children 12 and under receive 50% off tickets in the amphitheater and are free on the lawn. Performances begin at 11 a.m. on the Charles R. Wood “Jazz Discovery” Stage and 12 p.m. on the Amphitheater Stage on Saturday, June 24 and 11:30 a.m. and 12:45 p.m., respectively, on Sunday, June 25.
