THIRD ANNUAL JAZZFEST GLEN ELLYN LINE-UP ANNOUNCED
Continuing preparations for what has become one of the most popular jazz festivals in DuPage County, Jazz Fest Glen Ellyn organizers have announced this year’s lineup, which includes some of the Chicago area’s best talent.
The free event, which last year drew a crowd of more than 3,000 jazz fans, transforms Main Street from Crescent Boulevard to Pennsylvania Avenue into a jazz oasis and
is presented by the McAninch Arts Center (MAC) and 90.9fm WDCB – Public Radio From College of DuPage in partnership with Karnes Pricket Design and the Glen Ellyn Chamber of Commerce.
This year’s Jazz Fest Glen Ellyn takes place from 3 to 10 p.m. Saturday, July 11.For the third consecutive year, Jazz Fest Glen Ellyn visitors have the opportunity to hear Chicago’s top jazz musicians, experience the amazing Hursthouse Jazz Garden and enjoy delicious food, beverages and other refreshments.
This year’s musical acts include Chicago Hot Five, Kelly Brand Trio, Mark Colby Quartet, Tammy McCann Quartet and Deep Blue Organ Trio. “Jazz Fest Glen Ellyn organizers have planned an exciting afternoon and evening, giving visitors a great opportunity to hear some of the Chicago area’s best artists without having to travel into the city,” MAC Director Stephen Cummins said.
Created to present a unique and entertaining musical event, Jazz Fest Glen Ellyn is founded on the broad appeal of live jazz and presents an opportunity for Glen Ellyn and other Chicago area residents to embrace professional live jazz performances in a distinctive outdoor festival environment.
Admission is free and sponsors fund the majority of the event’s cost. Community member donations are, however, appreciated. Fest goers also are encouraged to bring their own chairs, as seating is limited for this popular event.
