36TH ANNUAL
BOSCOV’S Berks Jazz fest

“We have been closely involved with the Berks Jazz Fest for 10 years and have been attending for 30 years.

The Jazz Fest enhances local business and helps entice new companies and new people to consider Berks County as a good place to make their home. We are proud to be supporters of this and all the work that Berks Arts is engaged in.”
