The Sioux Falls Jazz & Blues Society would like to extend a thank you to the Sioux Falls area for voting The Sioux Falls Jazz & Blues Festival – JazzFest the #1 Local Best Area Event for the second year in a row. JazzFest 2008 was, once again, a fantastic event with nearly 90,000 people enjoying the two-day free festival.
Friday night headliner Taj Mahal jammed on the main stage with a huge crowd enjoying the music and festivities, and Saturday we proved that rain cannot stop a great time with Jonny Lang taking the main stage by storm. Thank you to all who attended to make this year’s festival one for the books.
“We are pleased and honored that this title of Local Best Area Event goes to the Sioux Falls Jazz & Blues Festival – JazzFest and most importantly, that it is decided by the public. We hope to continue to live up to that title for years to come.” Sioux Falls Jazz & Blues Society Executive Director, Robert Joyce, said of this award.
The Sioux Falls Jazz & Blues Festival – JazzFest is organized by the Sioux Falls Jazz & Blues Society, a non-profit arts organization. JazzFest is a free event and has been an annual music festival at Yankton Trail Park since 1996. JazzFest would not be possible without the support from local sponsors and hundreds of volunteers who dedicate time, money, and energy to make JazzFest the Local Best Area Event.
Dates for JazzFest 2009 are already scheduled: July 17-18, 2009, at Yankton Trail Park in Sioux Falls.
