About the Festival
The 14th Annual St. Elizabeth Catholic Church Jazz & Food Festival blends traditional and contemporary jazz with great food in a christian, family-oriented atmosphere. This highly anticipated summertime tradition is back, LIVE! ready to continue to bring many Richmonder’s to the Highland Park Community. Visitors can groove to the sounds of local professional jazz musicians, browse the offerings of local vendors, and enjoy a variety of foods and beverages from our beer and wine garden and local food trucks.
Since its inception in 2008, the purpose for the St. Elizabeth Jazz & Food Festival has always been to serve as the sole annual fund raiser for this St. Elizabeth Parish and its various ministries, and most importantly to promote evangelization among St. Elizabeth Catholic Church and the Highland Park Community.
Every year, this highly anticipated summertime tradition continues to attract hundreds of jazz and food enthusiasts and aficionados from all over Richmond and the surrounding area to come together to celebrate family, food and jazz music. We continue to improve upon the lessons learned after every festival; with your help, we can make this year’s event the biggest yet.
