Memorial Day is fast approaching, which means it is time for the annual San Diego Smooth Jazz Festival in the famous Gaslamp Quarter of downtown San Diego. (LOGO links to website)
Saturday May 23 is the date, and the setting is two stages of non-stop smooth jazz headliners (e.g., Boney James, Gerald Albright, Kurt Whalum, Norman Brown), national and local, hosted by KIFM Smooth Jazz 98.1. In addition to the 2 main stages, there are over 20 other venues for live music throughout the festival area between 4th and 6th streets. Music starts at 12:30 PM with performances until 10 PM.
This is the largest all-day jazz festival in San Diego and there is sure to be music to please you. Be aware that the area is roped off with tough security, and you will not be able to get past the gates without your tickets (which are $29 in advance). Restaurants are open during the festival. It gets crowded, parking is a challenge, and it's noisy, but what a great time of year for outdoor smooth jazz music. (Note: If you are planning to dine within the district, check with the restaurant on how to get in - we had a major problem 2 years ago because we were not attending the festival but had reservations at a local eatery.)
Visit the Gaslamp website for more information on this famous area of San Diego and events and happenings throughout the year.

Jeff - this sounds like a very fun event. I love the gaslamp area, and will have to visit soon. Very nice post, and jazz sounds great.
Jeff, that looks to be a great opportunity to listen to some great music at a very affortable price. I hope you get to go and enjoy it.
Woot! Give it up for jazz festivals! LOL. I love jazz festivals. It's the best way to hear good music and just chill. I've blogged about a few of them in our area recently. I hope yours is a blast!
Sounds like a great time. You will have to give me some tips on things to do in November during the NAR Convention.
