“Because the holiday jazz packages were incredibly popular in 2019 for our 20th Anniversary, we wanted to offer something even more special during the holidays to get folks excited about the return of the weekend festival in 2020,” says Amber Puschinsky, Fundraising Coordinator for the Friends of St. Clement’s Island & Piney Point Museums and coordinator of the event. “This package, a great holiday gift for music lovers of all kind, is only available for a limited time and on a limited basis, so those interested should reserve this deal as soon as possible.”
The Potomac Jazz & Seafood Festival, now in its 21st year after beginning back in 1999, was expanded to a three-day weekend event in partnership with the nearby Town of Leonardtown. Due to the popularity of the expanded weekend among festival-goers, the 2020 festival weekend will be better than ever. Visitors will first enjoy a free jazz Concert in the Square event in the Town of Leonardtown on Friday night where the entire town participates in the jazz fun. The Main Event on Saturday is all day at St. Clement’s Island Museum along the beautiful Potomac River, where attendees enjoy national jazz acts, a variety of local seafood options, boat rides around St. Clement’s Island and much more. The 2020 festival has several special events in store for all weekend, so those interested should keep up to date by following the event on Facebook or by visiting www.PotomacJazzAndSeafoodFestival.com.
