Get ready for a night of true jazz greatness: the Preservation Hall Jazz Band is coming to downtown Silver Spring! For more than 60 years, this legendary group has been the living embodiment of New Orleans jazz—bold, brassy, and impossible to sit still to. They’ve preserved and propelled the genre from its roots, performing alongside pioneers like Sweet Emma Barrett and George Lewis, and sharing that legacy with audiences around the world.

Montgomery County has announced that the legendary Preservation Hall Jazz Band will headline the free Silver Spring Jazz Festival on Saturday, Sept. 6. The Preservation Hall Jazz Band is recognized nationally for preserving and promoting traditional New Orleans jazz and is a past recipient of the National Medal of Arts. The festival will run from 3 to 10 p.m. at Veterans Plaza, located at One Veterans Place in Silver Spring.  Preservation Hall Jazz Band is scheduled to take the stage at 8:30 p.m.
