What to expect: This fest, held in historic Hamilton Park, brings together an eclectic mix of internationally acclaimed artists (including Englewood residents) to fill the park with one-of-a-kind compositions, creative improvisation and unique musical collaboration. The Festival was founded by Ernest "Khabeer" Dawkins to celebrate the living legacy of Jazz in Englewood and Chicago's South Side. The 2008 program will be announced soon.
