With so many variations of jazz, Winter Park\u2019s festival likes to feature a number of styles, including R&B, smooth jazz and contemporary jazz, to draw crowds of all ages. Many of the performers are also crowd favorites, such as Eric Roberson and Dave Koz, and fresh faces, like Ledisi and Tony Exum, Jr.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Other performers include The Sax Pack, Kindred, Darren Rahn and Adam Hawley and Marcus Anderson. Rounding out the tunes will be food, drinks and retail vendors at the park.<\/p>\n

Returning audience members will note that the festival has a new system for serving alcohol. This year, guests will purchase beer, wine or cocktail tokens that can be redeemed at the Idlewild bar on site.<\/p>\n

The event expects to draw 3,500-4,000 people each day, Ross said. She added that it sees a loyal audience each year and the chamber is grateful for the support.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe love the music and we love showing off Winter Park and sharing it with our guests,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n
