Jazzin' on Jefferson first shut down the streets in 2004 to bring jazz, blues, food, arts and crafts, and other activities to Detroit's lower Eastside. Since that time it has grown to a two-day long event that draws over 18,000 people. This event brings the community together to celebrate the rich history of the neighborhood and highlight the work that is being done to create its future. Jazzin' on Jefferson features a number of local and national artists.
