Get ready for a fabulous week

and soul by many of today’s leading jazz artists October 2–9,

Peplowski, and world-renowned guitarist and singer, Grammy 
Award winner, John Pizzarelli. Back by popular demand is the 
Trio Caliente which will keep everyone dancing to Flamenco, 
Pop and Brazilian Jazz.  This festival provides a rich, diverse 
cultural offering to the Amelia Island area by exposing thousands 
of people of all ages and backgrounds to the sounds, 
excitement, and vitality of great jazz - a uniquely American art 
form. Music is performed by jazz greats as well as fresh, 
up-and-coming young talent. Performances are staged in 
several venues around Amelia Island: Courtyard | Springhill 
Suites by Marriott, Sadler Ranch, The Decantery, Mocama Beer 
Company and new this year, the Fernandina Beach
Recreation Center.  

The cornerstone of the festival is its Educational Programs 
ed by Les DeMerle, the Festival’s Artistic Director. These 
programs include Jazz in Schools, Jazz for Kids and Jazz for 
Seniors.  The festival’s educational programs culminate in 
the Amelia Island Jazz Festival Scholarship. This financial 
award goes to deserving high school musicians who 
demonstrate strong potential to perform jazz at the 
collegiate level. 

It is highly advised to purchase your tickets online now.  
With this amazing line-up the shows will most likely 
sellout quickly.
