Jazz Fest - the best!
5/5 - Excellent
Verified traveler
Here for the Jazz Festival for the first time. They really know how to manage the crowds while staying pleasant and having fun. The shuttle service to the festival was the best way to go. The food at the festival was fantastic. Don't be afraid of the crowds. Everyone is moving around so seats become available in all of the tent venues throughout the concerts. Bring a hat and sunscreen and a love of amazing music.

I think there should be more shade or tents provided for people to be able to sit under.
