Hundreds gathered at the Ocoee Lakeshore Center’s green space to listen to live jazz performances at HAPCO Jazz Fest 2026 in the afternoon of Friday, March 20.
People brought lawn chairs, jackets, blankets and snacks to enjoy the event, getting cozied up during the cool evening.
For an additional price, attendees also enjoyed food and wine to elevate the experience while giving back to HAPCO’s educational programs.
Ocoee High School Jazz Band kicked off the event with a one-hour performance, followed by Andrew Kennedy Quartet, and Scott Wilson and the UF Jazz All Stars.
HAPCO Music Foundation also celebrated its 25th anniversary, in which the nonprofit assisted thousands of children and teens in low-income communities further their education through music and the arts.
