Chicago Jazz Festival – Part Three
OK, I wanted to write at least one more article about the up-coming Chicago Jazz Festival. Of course, as the time draws nearer, I will have more. I also hope to go to the Festival this year and I am trying to work out how I am going to accomplish that.
My brother told me over the weekend that some of the most fun you can have during Jazz Fest is to visit some of the local bars and clubs. There are, evidently, even bus tours you can take during the Festival that will take you to the various jazz clubs. He says that can be more fun than visiting the official stages. So, we shall see about that and I will look into that more.
The final stage is the Jazz and Heritage Stage. This is their schedule during the Festival:
