Music Takes Center Stage on Fillmore Street

 
Sila and the AfroFunk Experience perform at the Fillmore Jazz Festival on Sunday, July 6
 

Blending art and soul in one of the country's most unique neighborhoods, the Fillmore Jazz Festival is the largest free Jazz festival on the West Coast, drawing more than 90,000 visitors over the Independence Day weekend to the vibrant stretch of Fillmore Street between Eddy and Jackson streets.

From sunup to sundown, visitors can groove to the sounds of live music from three stages, browse the offerings of fine art and crafts, and enjoy a wide selection of gourmet food and beverages. From Asian to Cajun, paintings to pottery, old favorites and new directions, the Fillmore Jazz Festival is not to be missed.
