The 7th annual Art and All that Jazz Festival will take place for the first time this year in Village Square at the Port St. Lucie Civic Center.
The festival will take place on Friday, April 3 from 5 to 9 p.m., in conjunction with After 5 LIVE, and Saturday, April 4 from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. This popular event will feature artists from all over Florida, as well as live performances on Friday evening by the Showcase Band and on Saturday by the Fort Pierce Magnet School of the Arts Band; Joe Holiday’s Band; and Ossie Wright and GrooveDivision Band.
Note that After 5 LIVE is normally held the second Friday of every month at the Civic Center. However, due to Good Friday falling on the second Friday in April, After 5 LIVE is being celebrated on the first Friday in April.
An arts and crafts village with more than 40 booths will be located throughout Village Square, and various food vendors will offer a wide selection of festival food. Children will have lots to enjoy in the Square, too, with an interactive fountain, free face painting, a make-and-take kids’ craft tent, and bounce houses.
Sponsored by the city’s Parks and Recreation Department, the Community Redevelopment Agency, the St. Lucie Professional Art League and the Cultural Affairs Council, admission to the festival is free, as is the ample parking.
The Port St. Lucie Civic Center is located at 9221 S.E. Civic Center Place, on the southeast corner of U.S. 1 and Walton Road.
