Over the years JazzFest has attracted fans from our neighboring states. Many snowbirds, including Canadians, schedule their spring vacations in order to attend. Before my wife and I moved here from Georgia we would try to come every year to just sit in the park for two days, enjoy a snack and a beverage or two and listen to great music.
