Irondale Mayor James D. Stewart, Jr. will host the City of Irondale Jazz Festival this Saturday, Aug. 17, kicking off a three-part concert series through the fall.
The Jazz Festival will take place at Beacon Park, and the gates will open at 2 p.m.
Admission is free, and no tickets are needed to enjoy the show.
The Jazz Festival line-up includes violinist Brooke Alford at 4 p.m., smooth jazz band KB’s Technique at 5 p.m., guitarist JJ Sansaverino at 6 p.m., and jazz flutist Kim Scott at 7 p.m.
The Jazz Festival is a part of a three-concert series, which will also feature the City’s 137th Birthday Celebration Music Festival on Sept. 28 and Country Fest on Nov. 2.
Both of those events will also take place at Beacon Park.
“We hosted a music festival in 2022 and 2023, and those proved to be so successful that we decided to make it a full Concert Series this year,” Stewart said.
“Events like this play an integral role in helping us to achieve our mission of building community and building the future. We’ve incorporated music of all genres because we want people to know that our City has something for everyone. Whether you like historic areas like the Irondale Café, vast green spaces with Ruffner Mountain and the Cahaba River, or luxury car shopping at the Auto Mall, Irondale has it all.”
