The pride and joy of Jackson Ward is its rich history. Have you ever heard Duke Ellington’s “Rumpus in Richmond”? Bet it was penned after a nightclub gig (and a jaunt with a lady) on the street. Back in the day, Richmond was a destination for jazz musicians like Duke, and each year the 2nd Street Festival celebrates that history and the Jackson Ward neighborhood’s culture through music, dance, fashion, and food.
Jazz never goes missing at the festival. The Richmond Jazz Society manages a stage and books fine local musicians, and the crowds at the stage have always been encouraging. If you’re thinking about heading over there tomorrow or Sunday, check out the photos from years past.
