Playhouse Square is the place to be June 22-24, when some of the best musicians from Northeast Ohio and beyond take to the Strassman Insurance Stage outdoors, complete with dance floor. A lineup is below, but there's more to JazzFest that just music. Don't miss the U.S. Bank KidBop for wee boppers, Food Trucks on 14th, games in Amusement Alley, local merchants in Vendor Village, JazzFest artists chatting in the Chemical Bank Jazz Talk Tent, cooking demos and samples -- the list goes on and on.
Scroll down for schedules and a list of vendors. You won't want to miss it.
