Now,this has been our 3 yr. Attending Gulf smooth jazz festival. Last yr my husband had a heart attack. Cadilac Banks has a golden heart. He love the people ,not just because they purchase a ticket. He. called me back when I left a message. I told him what happen. Although,I was so sad we had to miss. I felt like it’s not all about the Benjamin. Thank you Mr.Banks. Of course I already got our tickets for 2025. I can’t wait.
My husband and I attend this event every year and we love it!!! It’s a grown and sexy event!!! We love you can bring in your own food and beverages!!! Cadillac does a spectacular job ever with the lineup!!! We’re excited about it now being a 3 day event!!! See you in September!!!
Awesome Awesome event. Great music Great energy. I'll definitely be back.
Better than I expected! 👋 Very much enjoyed by my Wife and friends! Friday night and Saturday night; DJ Bam Bam was great, too! Cannot believe we will have another day of live jazz in the fall of 2025! I can’t wait to see who you guys will have on the stage! The weather was perfect even when the sun went down! The crowd was amazing and lovely! ❤️
The time change was a challenge because of football games. There not big headliners as it was before. The weather was cooler at night even they used heated torches throughout the venue to keep everyone warm. Glad to hear that it would be 3 nights next time Overall, Cadillac did the best that he could with the major changes!
The festival is always great. The weather is another thing. During the day it was nice, when the sun goes down it's too cold
Since I attend several Jazz Festivals yearly some friends suggested the Gulf Coast Festival since its in October (my birthday month) and I'm so glad they did! The weather was absolutely perfect and there was a great lineup of well-known jazz artists and an awesome DJ too. Everything was well organized, you can bring your own food/drinks without being forced to purchase from vendors, and the bathrooms are large, cleaned regularly and easily assessable. The Team Members were very polite and friendly. There are also great restaurants within a 2 mile radius of the venue. We took an Uber from the hotel to the restaurants and to the venue each day. I will definitely be going again next year!! No more "Hotter Than July"festivals for me, lol.
Everything about this event was awesome. The lineup was good. The people were friendly. The weather cooperated. It was all around good time.
The venue was perfect! The artists were Great! Couldn't ask for a better environment to enjoy some jazz and a little blues! I advise any mature person to come out next year and witness such a beutiful experience.
This was a spectacular weekend filled with new and upcoming jazz. Artists along with artists that have been around for many years. The venue is truly one of the most beautiful settings for an outdoor event on the water. Highly recommend and can’t wait for next year.
