South Carolina Jazz Festival

Check out jazz legend Dizzy Gillespie’s historic hometown of Cheraw at the 2016 South Carolina Jazz Festival! More than 20 regional musical artists from the Carolinas will perform in an eclectic collection of venues. Other festivities will include a Bebop Parade, early jazz and late-night jazz restaurant venues, the Dizzy Gillespie Scholarship Golf Tournament, a birthday party for Dizzy, kids art activities, Madonnari-Southern Style Chalk Competition, a jazz mass, a 5K run/walk and much more. As Dizzy would say, “Bebop on down to Chee-raw, South Carolina." Tickets are $30 for a single-evening pass, and $50 for both days. For additional information, call (843) 537-8420, ext. 12.
