The City of Miami Gardens Announces Dates for the 6th Annual “Jazz in the Gardens” Music Festival

March 19 & 20, 2011 at Sun Life Stadium


MIAMI GARDENS, FL–(Marketwire – August 16, 2010) –  The City announces dates for the 2011 Jazz in the Gardens. On March 19 & 20, 2011, the 6th Annual “Jazz in the Gardens” music festival will be held at Sun Life Stadium, in the heart of Miami Gardens. 2011 performers and ticket on sale date will be announced later this fall.

“The 2011 event will continue our legacy of producing a first
class event. As we say in Miami Gardens, ‘if we don’t do it first
class, we don’t do it at all!’ This event is really making an impact
locally on tourism and travel. About 45,000 people attended the event
last year. People come from all around the nation and it truly has a
positive impact on the local economy. Hotels, restaurants, airlines, car
rentals and retailers are reaping the economic benefits of what the
‘Jazz in the Gardens’ brand has created. Miami Gardens is making a
significant contribution to the region, and we are proud to have an
asset that not only provides great leisure activity and entertainment, but also is an economic engine,” says Miami Gardens Mayor Shirley Gibson.

“Jazz in the Gardens” owes its success to a simple formula: a
star-studded line-up, great food, extraordinarily affordable ticket
prices and amazing weather. For the past five years the festival has
enjoyed unprecedented growth, consistently delivering stunning increases
in attendance and box office revenues year after year. Despite the
economy, in 2010 the “Jazz in the Gardens” box office enjoyed a 90%
increase in revenue.

Economic development for the region is a natural benefit of
Jazz in the Gardens. In 2010, “Jazz in the Gardens” partnered with The
Greater Fort Lauderdale Convention & Visitors Bureau According to Al Tucker,
Vice President of Multicultural Business Development, “the economic
impact was definitely felt in Broward County. I’m still hearing praise
from those who attended Jazz in the Gardens 2010, and they are already
inquiring about attending the 2011 event.”

The 2010 “Jazz in the Gardens” performers were some of the most extraordinary A-list artists in the world: Mary
J. Blige, John Legend, Robin Thicke, Teena Marie, Boyz II Men,
Cassandra Wilson, David Sanborn, Melanie Fiona, Joe Sample and K’Jon
contributed immensely towards making a memorable and profitable event. Previous years have included legendary artists such as Wyclef, Babyface, Kenny G., Frankie Beverly and
Maze, Chaka Khan, Chrisette Michele, Common, Erykah Badu, Anthony
Hamilton, Roy Ayers, The O’Jays, Nancy Wilson, George Benson, Sergio
Mendez, Luciano, KEM and Boney James
