Alexander City Jazz Festival brings art, entertainment and culture to Tallapoosa County
What's billed as one of the Southeast's longest-running, free music festivals is returning to Tallapoosa County. The 34th annual Alexander City Jazz Festival is set for June 14 and 15.
Jacob Meacham is president and CEO of the Alexander City Chamber of Commerce. He detailed the historical beginning of the event.
It started with a centennial celebration of a local retailer called President's Department Store. The store owner at the time wanted to celebrate the 100th anniversary of his business. He threw a big party and closed down the streets of downtown Alexander City and brought in great jazz artists. We're hosting this as a signature event in our community, Meacham said.
The festival kicks off Friday evening at Strand Park with three performances starting at 6 p.m. On Saturday, the show will take place at the AMP on Lake Martin and will be composed of two artists. The festival features a mix of genres including blues, jazz, funk, soul, Americana, bluegrass and rock-n-roll. Guests are allowed to bring their own food, drinks and lawn chairs. There will also be a variety of food and drink vendors to explore.
Also on the event schedule are performances by the Benjamin Russell High School Jazz Band, Grant Green Jr. Group, J and the Causeways, Sofia Goodman Group and the Grayson Capps Band.
Meacham said whether someone is an annual participant or a first-timer, there is a lot to enjoy.
The Friday night show takes place in downtown Alexander City, which is an arts entertainment district, so there are bars, restaurants, and places to shop. Come early to experience Alexander City, spend some time strolling the streets of downtown, visiting some shops, grabbing a bite to eat and having a drink. he said.
Meacham also said that over the years, the Alexander City Jazz Festival has been a success for the community beyond its economic value.
Art, entertainment and cultural experience mean a lot to Alexander City residents and tourists in our area, Meacham said. I think this type of cultural event has a lot of value in your community. [It] gets people out and makes connections in the community.
Free parking is available both nights of the 34thth Annual Alexander City Jazz Festival in designated areas. Participation in the event is free, and this event rain or shine. For more information, click here.
