JazzFest Falmouth

2009 JazzFest was enjoyed by all under the big tent. The "show went on" in the torrential rain, and we all stayed dry enjoying the great food, drinks and music.

Thank you to all the JazzFest staff and volunteers and to all the folks from Middlehouse Sound for all the hard work you all did to make the fest a reality.
