Clearwater Jazz Holiday Celebrates
45 Years with a Return to Our Roots!
ON THE GREEN IN
The Clearwater Jazz Holiday Powered by Duke Energy celebrates 45 years October 17-20, 2024 with a “Back to our Roots” theme. The festival will feature the Tampa Bay Times main stage back on the large green in Coachman Park. Reserved seats are available for purchase and several areas are also open to the public at no charge harkening back to yesteryear, including beer gardens, the Sunset Bluff (a large lawn overlooking the green where blankets and lawn chairs are welcome), and new, smaller side stages.
“We wanted to do something special for our 45th anniversary and this format really captures the community feel and magic of the festival tradition,” explains Steve Weinberger, Clearwater Jazz Holiday Foundation, CEO. “It is a return to something more familiar and we are so excited for our community and visitors to celebrate this milestone year with us.”
The 2024 lineup once again offers a diverse festival bill with something for everyone and a different feel each day. It is another showcase of classic and contemporary, blending audiences and generations.
Two new side stages are open to the public at no charge and will feature 15 additional artists. Weinberger describes the format, “The side stages create a festival preparty each day before the headliners hit the main stage – the two side stages are in the immediate vicinity of the large green – making it easy to check out all the happenings, wander around, and explore Coachman Park in this fun setting. The side stages feature everything from smooth and straight-ahead jazz to jam, funk, chiilhop, and Americana roots rock,” Weinberger explains.
True to the CJH mission, there will also be performances from outstanding young jazz musicians who the folks at CJH affectionately call Young Lions. Clearwater Jazz Holiday Foundation supports many of these aspiring artists throughout the year with its education and outreach programs providing instructional and performance opportunities.
Clearwater Jazz Holiday is presented by Clearwater Jazz Holiday Foundation, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization which also celebrates the art form of jazz year-round with innovative jazz appreciation and instructional programs, online education resources, exciting performance opportunities, special funding, and creative learning experiences!
