What is the Creekside Blues & Jazz Festival?
 
The Creekside Blues and Jazz Festival is a three day cultural celebration featuring hundreds of musicians, delicious cuisine, artisans from the region, amusement rides and engaging family activities. The event started over ten years ago as a one day dedication of Gahanna’s new Creekside Park area and the beginning of Olde Gahanna’s revitalization. The Creekside Blues & Jazz Festival has experienced unprecedented growth in attendance and has truly become more than the celebration of music, food and fun; it has become a premiere family summer event.  The Festival is held in Olde Gahanna, Friday, June 19 - Sunday, June 21 2009.

The phenomenal success of the Creekside Blues and Jazz Festival has come about as a result of dedicated volunteers, generous sponsors and loyal attendees.  This Crown Jewel event has showcased Gahanna for the last nine years and continues to be the talk of central Ohio!
