Creekside Blues and Jazz Festival

Creekside Blues and Jazz Festival

Visit Gahanna and the City of Gahanna are thrilled to announce tickets for
the 25th annual Creekside Blues & Jazz Festival are on sale. The silver
anniversary for the festival will return to the vibrant Creekside District Friday, June 14 – Sunday
16, and will showcase national, regional, and local blues and jazz performers on three stages.

“Over the past 25 years, the Creekside Blues & Jazz Festival has grown from a half-day event
to mark the revitalization of downtown Gahanna, to a three-day celebration of music, food,
community, and fun that draws tens of thousands from across Ohio and the U.S.,” said Lori
Kappes, executive director of Visit Gahanna. “We felt the best way to mark this historic
anniversary would be to provide the best collection of artists and activities the festival and
visitors has yet seen.”
