IMPORTANT MESSAGE ABOUT THE DENTON ARTS AND JAZZ FESTIVAL

Due to the current spike in cases of COVID-19 the feasibility of holding the Denton Arts and Jazz Festival in April is looking bleak. While we do have a vaccine coming, the prediction is that it will not be available to the general public until mid-April. With that in mind, the Board of Trustees met recently and voted to move the 2021 event to October 1, 2, and 3, 2021. The hope of the board is that this will give the vaccine time to be distributed and hopefully the world can return to some semblance of normalcy.

Vendor fees from the 2020 canceled event will be applied to the new October dates. We will be contacting those who have already applied for the Community Stages to offer first selection of the new dates. Sponsor and Top Hands fees already paid for 2021 will be carried over to the new dates as well.

While this wasn’t what we had hoped for in 2021 we do feel it is the only way we will be able to present an event created with your safety in mind which will hopefully ease us all back into a “new normal”.

A Celebration of the Arts

The Denton Arts and Jazz Festival is a celebration of the arts in a community known for embracing and nurturing music, dance, choral, drama and the visual arts. The free event is produced by the Denton Festival Foundation, Inc. with the generous support of sponsors such as the Dallas/Fort Worth American Federation of Musicians Local 72-147 and the city of Denton. Held the last full weekend in April at Denton’s Quakertown Park, the event features seven stages of continuous music, fine art, crafts, and food, games and information booths in a beautiful, outdoor setting.

The Festival Foundation uses proceeds from booth rentals and concession sales to support the arts throughout the city of Denton. Arts facilities, service organizations, and preservation projects have all been the recipients of the proceeds from past events, in addition to public art for the enjoyment of all.

Come see the best that Denton has to offer – the sights, sounds and flavors that make up the Denton Arts and Jazz Festival are perfect for all ages.

Due to the large crowds we ask that you leave your pets at home – SERVICE DOGS ONLY, PLEASE and NO COOLERS IN THE JAZZ AREA!

Help Make Arts & Jazz Better for Everyone!
