According to former Mayor Shirley Franklin "The festival was formed to celebrate the rich cultural heritage of our city and has blossomed into a celebration of our nation's contribution to human expression. Music heals. It reaches deep within the human soul and soothes and nourishes the empty-hearted and cultivates the spirit of community that surges through the City of Atlanta. The Atlanta Jazz Festival is one of the city’s proudest traditions."

The Festival is produced by the City of Atlanta Office of Cultural Affairs, and it is FREE and open to the public. For more information, including lineup and ticket information visit atlantafestivals.com/.
