Bridge Street Host Chat – Jazz Fest announces its return
(WSYR-TV) — Happy Friday! We start host chat with the breaking news that Jazz Fest is a go this year in Syracuse.
Founder Frank Malfitano tells us that funding has come through, so this year's jazz fest can proceed June 25-29, around downtown and the SU Campus.
Jazz Fest opens at clubs around downtown on Wednesday, June 25th. There will be three nights of headliners scheduled to take the Clinton Square Stage, Thursday through Saturday of that week.
They'll wrap things up with a gospel/jazz program at Hendricks Chapel on Sunday the 29th. It's all free admission, as always, and Jazz Fest plans to announce the lineup on Monday morning.
The group of headliners will include three Rock & Roll Hall-of-Famers and a couple of New Orleans legends.
Host chat then wraps up with the latest NYS Fair concert clue, National Hug a Newsperson Day, and a fun game of Two Truths and a Lie in honor of Tell a Lie Day.
