The Monterey Jazz Festival


The Monterey Jazz Festival is a yearly festival of jazz music that takes place at the Monterey Fairgrounds in Monterey, California the third full weekend in September. Founded by Jimmy Lyons in 1958, that year's festival included performers such as Dizzy Gillespie, Louis Armstrong, and Billie Holiday. It is now the longest-running annual jazz festival in the world, and continues to feature world-class jazz performers, as well as workshops, exhibitions, and panel discussions.
