Ocean City Jazz Festival
The festival will celebrate its 16th year of existence, which was created to commemorate the anniversary of the founding of the Ocean City Community in 1949, which was the first area developed for African-Americans to purchase and own coastal property in North Carolina, 15 years before the Civil Rights Act.
The Ocean City Jazz Festival is committed to presenting the gold-standard of jazz by producing a showcase event that raises an appreciation of the genre of jazz, fosters economic growth, unites artists and attendees, and inspire a new generation culturally through the history of the Ocean City Beach Community.
On Friday the gate opens at 5pm and the show starts at 6pm. The gates open at 4 pm on Saturday and Sunday and the show starts at 5pm.
