During the day, musicians and dancers from various genres will take the stage. You can enjoy local school talents, a Latin guitarist and even music by the multi-talented Johnny Giowan and his band.

In the evening, settle in for some funky beats as several professional and student acts riff on stage for Jazz Night.

Beyond the live entertainment, the event will also have a variety of food trucks serving up festival foods.

The venue is within walking distance from Gate 6 (Legion Gate) of Camp Foster and Gate 3 of MCAS Futenma.
