Seaside Jazz Festival
May 17th - 26th, 2008
Seaside Amphitheater - Santa Rosa Beach, FLA
The Merchants of Seaside will give jazz lovers a rare treat this spring, producing not one, but two weekends of top-notch music at the Seaside Jazz Festival : A Journey Through Jazz. The festival headliner, The Neville Brothers, will perform May 26th at 6pm.
Ever since the devastating hurricane season of 2005, the merchants here at Seaside have wanted to show our support for the musicians along the Emerald Coast and also our neighbors in New Orleans. This festival not only offers them a fantastic showcase, it also provides jazz fans with two weekend filled with world-class music.
Many of these famous performers have suffered hardships due to Katrina. We are so pleased to host them in our journey through Jazz as they continue on their road back to success.
