The 6th Annual Provincetown Jazz Festival

August 13th -14th, 2010

Both days feature a stellar lineup of venerated jazz musicians, including vocalist & guitarist Paul Sanchez from New Orleans, saxophonist Greg Abate, vocalist Dane Vannatter, pianist & vocalist Janice Friedman, and the Berklee Rising Stars, a talented compilation of students and professors from the Berklee College of Music in Boston. Whether you plan to visit all the shows or just one, a stroll through the artsy, eclectic, and classically beautiful port town is a must.

Tickets are $25 for each concert and can be purchased online or by calling. Free admission for children under 11. A portion of the proceeds will be donated to New Orleans Musicians’ Clinic, an organization that provides health services to New Orleans jazz musicians.

The two-leg trip from NYC to Provincetown can take a variety of forms-land, sea and air.  One option is to take the Bonanza Bus Line from Port Authority and transfer to a Plymouth and Brockton bus in Hyannis.  Another option is to first get to Boston. From Boston, take the Plymouth & Brockton bus—bikes can be brought on the buses for a small fee. Set out to sea and hop on a high-speed ferry or take a quick flight with Cape Air. Visitors are also welcome to dock their boats in the main marina.
