The Fillmore Jazz Festival in San Francisco attracted thousands of attendees over its two-day event, showcasing multiple stages and diverse offerings. Residents expressed love for the festival's cultural significance, including jazz and African American art. Initial cancellation due to funding concerns disappointed many, but community support and an anonymous donor helped revive the event. The festival, organized by the Fillmore Merchants Association, aims to continue with future donations to ensure its legacy, with next year marking its 40th anniversary.
I love all the bands... The bands are good, the food is good, the clothing is good. They got a lot of stuff for you to buy, and I love it.
Fillmore District. It's just what it stands for... jazz, African American art, the culture here, and so it's just a tradition for us.
We don't understand that because it needs to go on every single year. This is a place to bring all people together, all nationalities and all colors.
...a non-profit founded by a crypto billionaire stepped in. I got a call from an anonymous donor who wanted to facilitate the jazz festival.
