It is getting the time of year to start looking forward to the summer music festivals here in Winter Park. This year looks to be a doozy of a year with a couple of new festivals with some great music and musicians.

The biggest and usually the best Colorado summer concert music festival is the Winter Park Jazz Festival. The dates are set for this years festival for Saturday July 24th and Sunday July 25th. There a some rumors as to the jazz festival musician lineup but we promised to keep out tongues tied until there is an official announcement. Last year the lineup was announced April 1st and that should be the same this year.

Check out the jazz festival poster to the left for last years musician lineup. This year again the festival will be held at Hideaway Park in downtown Winter Park, CO. Times for the shows should also be the same going from 11am to 6pm.

The WP Jazz Festival is the premier Winter Park music festival of the year and if you are thinking of attending make sure to reserve your lodging soon. The best lodging books early and you don’t want to be in some bad digs for this show. Check out Winter Park Lodging Company’s Jazz Festival lodging options.

Winter Park, Colorado comes alive in the summer so get here a day or two early and stay and stay a couple of days late and enjoy the Rocky Mountain summer.

Stay tuned for the Winter Park Jazz Festival artist lineup – we will keep you posted. And mark your calendars the 2011 Jazz Festival is July 23rd and 24th.

Winter Park Jazz Fest Line-up Announced

Posted on April 7, 2009 by Valarie

jazz-fest-1-2 Yeah! Part of the line-up of the 2009 Winter Park Jazz Festival has already been announced, with more artists still to be announced in the coming weeks. Since I’ve lived in Winter Park, the Jazz Fest line-up hasn’t been announced until late May or early June, so this is a record!

I’m not a really big Jazz music fan, so I can’t tell you much about these artists, but I can say that the Jazz Fest weekend is one of the most happenin’ weekends of the summer in Winter Park. I love going to the shows and being out in the action. Last year was a great time, the weather was perfect and I was introduced to some really good Jazz performers, like Kelly Sweet and Dave Koz (pictured here).

Oh, I almost forgot. Winter Park Lodging by Owner has some premier condos in a prime location for the Jazz Fest. They’re called the Trailhead Lodge condos, and they’re so close to the festival grounds, you can even watch the festival from the balcony one of them. Plus, they’re finishing up an outdoor pool and hot tubs this summer – we’ve heard they’ll be ready by July!

Here is what we know so far:

Saturday, July 25th

Fourplay
Warren Hill
War

Sunday, July 26th

Boney James
Sax for Stax
Rippingtons

We’ve updated our website with the Jazz Fest line-up as well. Keep checking back to get updates on the line-up, ticket prices and more.
