Fun in Old Town This Weekend

The Michigan Jazz Fest is back for its 27th year and will take place in Old Town this weekend according to fox47news.com

Jazz Fest founder Terry Terry said the festival is the event when it first started, that really put Old Town on the map. When I moved into Old Town, this was pretty boarded up.

The fact that it's in a different neighborhood hasn't dimmed the excitement. The festival kicked off Thursday with a benefit concert to help kids get involved in performing arts. World-renowned trombonist, Wycliffe Gordon, headlined the event. The weekend lineup will feature more than two dozen performers. We have a wonderful singer, Kalia Cummings, and Alexandra Decker, they’re both locals. We have The Corzo Effect playing," said Myles Johnson, marketing coordinator.

Jackson County Fair Fun

The Jackson County Fair is also this weekend with a carnival, food, and live entertainment.  Toby Keith will be there Sunday night and Lynyrd Skynyrd will happen Tuesday night.  Have fun this weekend.
