After four long years, the 28th Annual Central Avenue Jazz Festival made its triumphant return to “The Avenue,” in-person on Sept. 23, bringing tens of thousands of attendees to South Central to enjoy a day of music and community.
Hosted by LA City Councilmember Curren Price, the free outdoor extravaganza featured three stages of live music, dozens of local food and beverage vendors, and four pavilions offering art exhibits, free and confidential health care services, arts & crafts, games and public resources.
"While COVID-19 caused us to reimagine this festival virtually for the last several years, there is no better feeling than being back in person," said Councilmember Price. “It was an absolute delight to see first-hand the significance this event has for the community in District 9, Los Angeles and beyond.”
