Arizona Daily Star: 5th annual Jazz Fest will light up Tucson stages

“Unlike previous years, when the Downtown Jazz Fiesta showcasing local musicians in free concerts on Martin Luther King Day occurred in the middle of the festival, this year’s Downtown Jazz Fiesta will close the festival on Monday, Jan. 21.

Also new is the free concert by longtime Tucson favorite Poncho Sanchez playing Latin and Afro-Cuban party music on the main stage outdoors near the Hotel Congress, 311 E. Congress St., at 2 p.m.

Everything else about the Downtown Fiesta will be the same, with a trio of outdoor stages hosting bands from 11 a.m. to 10 p.m. The stages are at the Playground complex, 278 E. Congress St., the Connect Coworking office space, 33 S. Fifth Ave., and the main stage, just west of the Hotel Congress.”
