The 2010 Chicago Jazz Festival, presented by CareFusion will happen once again this year in Grant Park September 4-5th. Once again this year the festival will have a combination of local Chicago jazz musicians as well as world re-known names. This is the largest jazz event of the year in Chicago with over 300,000 people anticipated to attend the three day festival. Once again Chicago Jazz Magazine will be publishing the official program and will have an expanded tent at the fest complete with live performances featuring members of ChicagoJazz.com.
Here is a complete schedule with information on each group performing at the fest. We hope to see you at the Chicago Jazz Magazine booth throughout the weekend and meet you live and in person. After all this is the best chance to see live jazz all in one place throughout the entire year.
