Clearwater Jazz Holiday Foundation

In 2021 and 2022, easing of pandemic protocols and restrictions meant a return to traditional education & outreach programming as well as integration of many of the creative adaptations developed in 2020. During these two years, the organization was also thrilled to bring back its largest program, the Clearwater Jazz Holiday music festival (cjh), which due to the imagine Clearwater construction project, was moved to a temporary venue at baycare ballpark.

Accordingly, while cjh is the organization's main program service, the money earned from cjh and other annual events is used not only to operate the annual festival but also further the organization's community impact. These year-round innovative initiatives and social events are changing lives and providing special experiences for people of all ages and varying socio-economic backgrounds, from the very young to the senior community. The activities also promote personal and community cultural development, inspire jazz/music appreciation, create audiences, and increase cultural awareness through year-round social and educational opportunities. All of these activities are highlighted online on the cjh education & outreach page which contains several informative photos and videos. (continued on schedule o)
