Jazz Festival Discounts

FOR the first time ever the San Javier Council has announced a 20 per cent discount for people over the age of 67, people with disabilities, single parents, large families (three children or more), and youth card holders for the many events that take place during the Summer Festival. This includes the famous International Jazz Festival held every summer in the outdoor auditorium that has 500 seats, in the newly renovated Almansa Park. The Jazz Festival has headlined Jazz legends such as George Benson, Diane Reeves, and Vonda Shepard. It begins on June 30 and ends on July 24.

This year the 25th anniversary of the International Jazz Festival will be headlined by Grammynominated Brazilian Jazz superstar Djavan. The British soul ­ pop group Mamas Gun is also included in the line ­ up along with Michele Hendricks and trombonist Steve Turre, and the up ­ and ­ coming Samara Joy among others.

The town council went on to say the discounts will also include any show or performance pro ­ grammed by the Culture and Festivities departments not just the summer festival.

As always the summer festival will include many other activities and events taking advantage of the new facilities in Almansa Park.
