UCLA 2019 JazzReggae Festival- 33rd Anniversary Festival:
The JazzReggae Festival will see its 33rd anniversary this year. Cultural Affairs Commission is taking the festival back to its origins to its original location of UCLA’s Sunset Canyon Recreation Center because of cuts in the event’s budget. The festival will feature a balance of student and professional performers, which has elicited both anticipation and disappointment from festival attendees. The JazzReggae Festival at UCLA is the largest student-run festival in the nation, celebrating the rich history of jazz and reggae music under the Los Angeles sun and skies!
In addition to music lovers, the festival brings arts and crafts vendors from the city onto campus. Quinn Miller, a fourth-year communication studies student, said each year she enjoys browsing the handmade African-inspired crafts showcased by vendors from the Los Angeles area.
The event, originally called Jazz Fest, was first held in 1986 and showcased a collection of jazz musicians at Sunset Canyon Recreation Center. The festival has evolved throughout the years to include both reggae and jazz music.
