It’s been called a tribal gathering, a party, an improvisation… and a “cultural colossus.”

Around here we just call it the Monterey Jazz Festival – and we wouldn’t miss it for the world.

Now in its 54th year, this year’s event takes place the weekend of Sept. 16-18 at the Monterey Fairgrounds. Over 500 artists play on eight stages… here’s just a few of the headliners:

  • Herbie Hancock
  • Sonny Rollins
  • India.Irie slotsonlinecanada.ca
  • Huey Lewis and the News
  • Hiromi
  • Joshua Redman

Tickets just went on sale for single day and 3-day admission packages. Don’t wait!

On Another “Note”

As of this writing we still have availability for the Jazz Festival weekend. Put your feet up at this lovely ocean view two bedroom/three bath home in nearby Pacific Grove.

It’s just a short walk to downtown shops and restaurants – and minutes from the Aquarium, Cannery Row, Fisherman’s Wharf and Carmel.
