What better way to celebrate Independence Day than by enjoying America's gift to the music world, jazz. The Fillmore Jazz Festival, now in its 31st year, has become the largest jazz festival on the West Coast. Spread out over 12 blocks, this festival recalls the neighborhood’s deep and rich musical roots. In addition to multiple music stages featuring various forms of jazz, there will also be fine art and gourmet food booths.
