The 6th Annual Los Olivos Jazz and Olive Festival takes place next Saturday, June 5th, at the corner park by the flagpole from 1 to 4 pm. I remember last year you could hear the music all over town, but the food and drink--which sounds like a lot of fun--requires a ticket.

Live jazz music will be performed by the The Los Angeles Jazz "A Team," with singer Denise Donatelli, and food will be served by 30 different amateur and professional chefs. Twenty-two area wineries will be pouring. All 600 tickets sold out last year twenty minutes before the event began, so they've increased the event to 650 tickets, but if you'd like to go you should probably buy one now.
When the "doors" open at 1pm, you'll receive a souvenir wine glass and plate, and then make your way from canopy to canopy to sample the vintners' and chefs' offerings with music in the background.

The event is sponsored by the Los Olivos Rotary Club. Festival Tickets are $40 and can be purchased in advance at Corner House Coffee in Los Olivos, The Book Loft or Los Padres Bank in Solvang, the Burger Barn in Santa Ynez, and RaboBank in Buellton. More information and tickets are also available at http://www.losolivosrotary.org/ .
