The third annual New Bedford JazzFest is taking place from 2:00 - 7:00 p.m. on Saturday, June 14, 2014 on Pier 3 along the city's waterfront.
The event features great local and regional jazz performers and showcases local artists and food. Tickets are $15 in advance and $20 the day of the festival, and can be purchased online or at the venue.
This year's line-up includes Ethmology, Southcoast Jazz Orchestra, jazz singer Shawnn Monterio and the John Harrison Trio, and the MonterioBots, led by Marcus Monterio.
An historic port city rich in heritage and culture, New Bedford was the world's most famous whaling port in the 19th century, captured by the literature by Herman Melville and others. Today, New Bedford is the nation's number one commercial fishing port.
New Bedford is also rich in cultural attractions, including music and ethnic festivals, culinary events, literary activities and historical tourism. And nearby UMass/Darmouth has an excellent music department, specializing in jazz, world music, classical and gospel.
