Be sure to join us for your favorite party in the park on Saturday, September 18th for the 17th Annual Highland Jazz and Blues Festival!
The Highland Jazz & Blues Festival is rolling into its 17th year in Columbia Park with musical acts and more on two stages, 50+ local food and art vendors, a specialty area for your favorite furry friend, and plenty of activities for the kids.
And what's the best part?
The festival is FREE to the community.
Shuttle service will be provided from several locations TBA.
Family friendly. Dog friendly. People friendly.
This year’s music lineup features award winning musicians from our community and beyond.
Local favorite, Grammy nominated vocalist/guitarist, Buddy Flett will kick-off our festival on the Oschner LSU Health Shreveport Pavilion Stage.
Legendary blues singer, 5x Humanitarian and 7+ music legend, Betty Lewis will follow.
More performances throughout the day on two stages include Tree Fiddy Trio, The Rougarou Trio, Junior the Third, and Ohm Haus.
You will also have two opportunities to parade through the park with the Shreveport Second Line Brass Band.
Rounding out the day is our headlining act, the Grammy Award winning New Orleans Nightcrawlers, a bristling brass band with a modern soul.
For the first time at the festival, we will have a live art competition called “Clash of the Artists”.
Four local artists will compete by painting live in accordance with a theme related to the festival at the BOM Gazebo Stage.
These artists will have 2 hours to paint their showcase interpretation piece of how music brings our community together.
Festival goers will have a chance to vote on their favorite artwork that day.
The winning artwork will be announced prior to the headlining act and will be used for the 2022 official festival poster artwork.
Clash of the Artists participants were chosen by community vote on social media.
Local artists competing are: J. Ben Moss aka Ploid, Sebastian Williams, Linda Moss, and Michael Miller.
In addition to the music and art, there will be more than 70 food and art vendors onsite and a Children’s Area sponsored by Lang Orthodontics with multiple activities planned throughout the afternoon.
There will be a FREE shuttle provided by AEP/Swepco.
