JACKSONVILLE, Fla.<\/strong> \u2013 Thousands of people are expected to endure the heat for Jazz Fest 2024<\/a>, a free three-day concert in downtown Jacksonville.<\/p>\n

Jazz Fest has seen many locations, from the Duval courthouse lawn to Riverfront Plaza, the former site of The Landing.<\/p>\n

This year it kicks off with two stages at Daily\u2019s Place and Metropolitan Park.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe theme is always come early when you come downtown,\u201d City of Jacksonville\u2019s Chief of Sports & Entertainment Alex Alston said.<\/p>\n

Some roads will also be closed for food trucks and vendors, but there will be plenty of parking at the lots surrounding Daily\u2019s Place and the stadium.<\/p>\n

Friday, Saturday and Sunday will be very eventful, but it will also be hot.<\/p>\n

Temperatures will peak into the 90s all weekend and will feel even hotter.<\/p>\n

There will be four JTA cooling buses for anyone who needs a break from the heat, plus water and cold beverages.<\/p>\n

There will also be a chance to shop.<\/p>\n

Vendors like Latisha, who traveled from Atlanta, is one of many at Jazz Fest. This is her first time at this event.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have jewelry, handbags, handmade cowboy hats, and a variety of stuff,\u201d Latisha said.<\/p>\n

Sound checks are complete, vendors are ready, Jazz lovers are excited for good live music, and the city is ready to host one of its biggest annual events.<\/p>\n

Don\u2019t forget to bring a chair, along with your water.<\/p>\n

Some popular performers include Ritenour and Grusin and Brain McKnight who perform on Friday night.<\/p>\n
