The Hampton Jazz Festival website says each year is more exciting than the last. The festival has been a partnership between the City of Hampton and Hampton University since the Hampton Coliseum opened in 1970.
Their website says the festival began as a one-time celebration for Hampton University's 100th birthday in 1968, but quickly became a favorite and has been held annually ever since.
