Even with the name change from the Old Sacramento Dixieland Jazz Jubilee to the now shortened Sacramento Music Festival, whatever the moniker is, each Memorial Day weekend since the dawn of time (or since 1974, rather) comes with three days of jazz, swing and even Chicano rock. This year, enjoy the sounds of Los Lobos, the Kenny Wayne Shepard band, John Lee Hooker Jr. and countless talents. Other features at the music fest include banjo players, ragtime performances, marching bands and of course, food. But, the festival isn’t solely planted in one location this time around; music will be heard from Old Sacramento to the Convention Center area, which includes the Holiday Inn, Sheraton Grand, Embassy Suites and Hyatt Regency downtown. What’s more, enjoy jazz aboard the Delta King Riverboat or party down with other music enthusiasts in the large concert area in Old Sacramento hosting up to 2,500 people.
