Cathedral Park Jazz festival 2008

The 28 th Jazz festival starts Friday July 18, and runs until Sunday July 20, 2008. I have been listening to previews of the music on KMHD 89.1 FM. The music sounds like another great line up. Friday opens at 6pm with Kenny Lavitz and closes with Curtis Salgado at 8pm. Saturday July 19, 2008 opens with The Krebsic Orkestar at noon, Linda Lee Michelet at 2 pm, Towner Galaher at 4 pm, and closes with Randy Porter at 6pm. Sunday starts with Bryant Allard at noon, Karla Harris at 2pm, Portland Jazz Orchestra at 4pm and closes with Bill Mays along with Gary Hobbs and Dave Captien at 6pm. McMinamens has a beer and wine garden at the festival. When I am not at the festival I will listen to the simulcast on KMHD fm. Cathedral Park is located at the east end of the ST Johns Bridge. This is a free event.

Cathedral Park Jazz Festival

Don’t let the rain keep you away from this beautiful park and free jazz festival. The park is under the east end of the St Johns Bridge. The 27^th annual Cathedral Park Jazz Festival runs from Friday July 20 to Sunday July 21, 2007. I like to bring a sand chair and blanket along with a picnic and sit on the grassy slope enjoying the music. People dance in front of the stage. Plenty of food and drink are available for purchase. There is a beer garden.
