Daytona Beach and Port Orange real estate buyers and sellers, as well as residents who enjoy exquisite music from both local and international sources, this is a great time to be living or visiting the Daytona Beach and Port Orange areas!

Right now, Volusia County residents and visitors are enjoying the musical excellence of The London Symphony Orchestra and the Daytona Beach International Festival. But to add to this annual incredible event, this weekend, April 17 and 18, we can also enjoy Lakeside Jazz Fest in Port Orange.

Lakeside Jazz Fest is completely FREE, and features the United States Marine All Star Jazz Band from Washington, D.C. You can also enjoy jazz bands from the University of Central Florida, Stetson University, and more. The Festival is being held at the Kenneth W. Parker Amphitheater at Port Orange City Center.

The Lakeside Jazz Festival was established in 1998, and is hosted by local high schools jazz bands from Atlantic High School and Spruce Creek High School.

For more information, you can visit www.LakesideJazz.org where you can view a complete list of the headliner bands, and a schedule of their performances. At the festival, you can purchase food from the concession stands, with all proceeds going to summer music camp scholarships for Atlantic High School and Spruce Creek High School band members.

This is a great way to support our local high school music programs. Please enjoy the free jazz concerts, and buy food from the concession stands, so our local high schools won't have to worry about falling prey to losing their art programs, like so many other nationwide schools.
