Free to people of all ages, ethnicities, and income levels, the festival demonstrates the power of music to transcend differences and unite people in a joyful and uplifting experience.
The festival was developed by Blues to Green, Inc., led by the efforts of founder Kristin Neville, and Evan Plotkin, President of NAI Plotkin and Director of City Mosaic. Through this annual event they shine a spotlight on the richness of Springfield’s cultural offerings and diversity while celebrating the heritage and explorations of Jazz & Roots music. The festival features locally loved and international renowned musicians, and engages regional artists and a diverse community in fueling Springfield’s revitalization.
