It’s fun, it’s free and it’s fantastic. Schoolcraft’s Livonia campus will once again host the Michigan Jazz Festival. Nearly 30 bands will entertain thousands on Sunday, July 15 from noon until 9:15 p.m. A wide variety of soloists and groups will be performing on six different stages.

In addition to continuous music for everyone’s listening pleasure, workshops will also be conducted for those interested in learning more about this uniquely American style of music. Between 5,000 and 6,000 people attend the festival each year, and with four of the five stages indoors, they can enjoy the music without worrying about the weather. Schoolcraft Food Services offers plenty of tasty items, and it’s easy to make this an all-day outing.

Parking and attendance are free, and patrons mix and mingle with other jazz lovers, buy CDs and talk to their favorite performers, and get a great overview of just how much talent lives in the area. For more information visit http://michiganjazzfestival.homestead.com/
