Since its inception in 2002, the Selby Ave JazzFest has become a definitive testament to the power of arts-based community development. 2020 was to be the Fest’s 19th year; however, the Coronavirus pandemic has caused our planning group to cancel the event. However, JazzFest has always been about the strong community spirit that is readily found on Selby Avenue and indications are there are folks who want this to continue…regardless of the pandemic. With this in mind, we are seeking to live stream two to three events throughout September. I am in the midst of defining our performers as well as finalizing a venue.
