Burlington's Discover Jazz Festival starts tomorrow. And believe me when I tell you this is way cool.
Between then and the 12th when it ends, there will be scores of free music events on multiple stages and venues throughout the city of Burlington. There will also be a number of high power concerts which will cost you bucks, but will be well worth the time and money.
Burlington Town Center (aka Church St) itself will have a number of stages with free blues, jazz and gospel (no rock or rap, thank you) going on almost nonstop for the ten days of the festival. Events will also be ongoing down by the Waterfront, in City Hall Park and in various other venues such as the Flynn Theater.
The weatherman is predicting a beautiful weekend and I'll be down town jumpin' and groovin' and photographing what events I can. One of my favorites events will take place on Sunday afternoon (12th) at the Waterfront where they will have Gospel Tent set up. For free!
Unfortunately, business will be taking me away next week to Seattle so unless I have some real good luck, I'll be missing Buckwheat Zydeco's show at the Blues Tent on Thursday (I still haven't given up hope on this).
You can read my blog entries from last year here, here and (for completeness) here. And you can view the other photos I took during the event here.
See you hipsters (but not hopsters) there.
