The Denton Arts & Jazz Festival is a FREE 2 1/2 day event held in the heart of the city, beautiful Quakertown Park . Over 2,200 performers on 6 stages, fine arts and crafts, children's art activities, food and games, and four hundred festival members volunteer their time each year for this exciting annual event on the last, full weekend in April.
"It don't mean a thing if it ain't got that swing!"
For as long as anyone can remember Denton has been an incubator of talent for artists and musicians. Produced by the Denton Festival Foundation, the Denton Arts & Jazz Festival emerged from this incredible pool of both professionals and amateurs. Every April over 200,000 people travel to Denton to experience the cool sounds...the diverse entertainment...the hot jazz...and all of the talent that has made Denton a hotbed of artistic inspiration.
*Proceeds from concession booths benefit the arts in a community where arts and music are nurtured at every level, every day.
