Savannah Music Festival starts tomorrow March 22 and runs through April 7. The city-wide musical arts event features renowned performers in jazz, classical, Americana and world music.

This year’s festival doesn’t include any family-specific shows, as the festival has in the past (Roger Day!!!!). But there are a few performances that organizers said could be considered appropriate for the whole family including:

-the Rousakis Plaza Swing Central Jazz, Big Band showcase noon Thursday, March 29.  The free open-air showcase will feature the twelve high school big bands participating in Swing Central Jazz. Details here.

-the small combo showcase in Reynolds Square 4-6 PM Friday, March 30.

-CAJUN DANCE PARTY: LOST BAYOU RAMBLERS 6 PM Friday, March 23. Details here

The Hello Pops! with Wycliffe Gordon performance at 11 AM on March 27th at the Trustees Theater. is already booked with local school children & not open to the general public.
