The coming of summer brings heat and the sounds of jazz and soul to the nation’s Capitol.  Start the summer off right with the 18th Annual Capital Jazz Fest in Columbia, Maryland from June 4th – 6th.  When you attend the Capital Jazz Fest, you’ll enjoy multi-stage, multi-day entertainment featuring contemporary jazz and soul.  And the after-parties are not to be missed!  In addition, you’ll discover a great venue for people-watching, mingling, getting some sun time, and shopping!

And with a lineup including Kenny G, Laura Izibor, Rachelle Ferrell, Brian Simpson, Down to the Bone, Mint Condition, and appearances by Gladys Knight and Sinbad, you’ll never find a better opportunity to enjoy immersing yourself in the jazz experience.

At the Festival Marketplace, you’ll discover craftsmen, businesses, and food vendors waiting for you to find them.  Take your time to browse – you never know what treasures you may find!
