The sixth annual BeanTown Jazz Festival will see downtown
Boston become a hotbed of entertainment once again between September 29th and October 1st.
Attracting more than 40,000 music lovers to the city streets, the free festival of jazz, arts and crafts takes place in
Boston's South End on Columbus Avenue between Burke Street and Massachusetts Avenue.
Featuring more than 15 different performers playing over three stages, the weekend's entertainment will include performances from a range of local and national jazz names, as well as a special Sunday Gospel Brunch with Kendrick Oliver's New Life Orchestra.
All of Saturday festival events are free, although the Friday night concert, featuring the story of impulse records and Sunday brunch are ticketed.
As well as being a celebration of jazz the BeanTown Festival is also a charity event with all funds raised going to Berkee's Scholarship Fund and Boston Medical Centre's Prostate Cancer Screening Initiative.
