SACRAMENTO, CA (MPG) – The Hot Jazz Jubilee will once again feature four days of music and entertainment over Labor Day weekend from Aug. 29 to Sept. 1. 

Five venues will offer music at the Doubletree by Hilton Sacramento, ranging from the large Grand Ballroom to the more intimate Garden Terrace and RJs. Dancers will want to hang out in the three ballrooms, which offer dance floors.

"We are excited to offer some new music genres and some great bands new to the festival," said Hot Jazz Jubilee Director Pat Jones. “Plus, some fabulous guest artists. The variety at this festival can't be beat. We have jazz, swing, gypsy jazz, zydeco, blues, old time rock 'n' roll, western swing and R&B. Something for everyone."
