Hosted by the North Gwinnett High School Jazz Program in coordination with the City of Sugar Hill, The NGJF is a showcase for local and regional educational jazz groups to perform for audiences and build community with each other. During the festival, 12 different ensembles will have the opportunity to perform for each other and the community and receive professional recordings, while also networking with other schools, local and regional colleges, and vendors. The festival will be a great time for the entire city, and is open to everyone to come enjoy fantastic jazz music! Be sure to stay all day, as there will be food trucks, craft vendors, and fun for the whole family. There will also be a featured guest ensemble - the professional Atlanta Lab Band, performing the Georgia premiere of a Grammy © nominated work.
