Gold River's Wayne Hokom Gets the word out!
35th Annual Sacramento Jazz Jubilee, May 23-26, 2008, fun and entertainment for the whole family, couples, and singles, on Memorial Day Weekend. Don't miss this, there will be dancing everywhere in old town Sacramento to the Convention center.
Even if you don’t want to dance and want to hear great music and be around happy people, this is it. Easy parking or you can ride FREE on RT with a ticket. That’s pretty good.
The Sacramento Jazz Jubilee, now in its 35th year, is the biggest and baddest Jazz festival in the Western United States. Its 30 concert venues stretch from Sacramento's cosmopolitan Convention Center, with its luxury hotels, to quaint Old Sacramento's boardwalks and cobblestones. About 100 performing groups, in more than a dozen Jazz genres, come to Sacramento each Memorial Day Weekend to entertain our 70,000 visitors - about 900 separate performances over the weekend.

| About
Wayne Hokom |
| In 2008, the Jubilee builds an exciting connection between venues at the Convention Center and those in Old Sacramento - five new venues along the K Street Mall, including the Hard Rock Cafe, the Pizza Tent at St. Rose of Lima Park, the Crest Theater, the Pyramid Ale House, Marilyn's on K Street, 2440 seats in all. And there will be a free venue near the Convention Center where you can hear Next Generation bands.
The Sacramento Jazz Jubilee is the production of a small paid staff and about 2800 volunteers. Festival volunteers sell tickets, provide office and technical support, paint signs, manage band selection and contracting, set up sites and make sure there are enough chairs, develop a performance schedule, perform media relations and write the festival program, tend bars, drive band shuttles, perform accounting and myriad other tasks, including, of course, takedown and cleanup. Volunteers are always needed and welcome.
