The first Santa Cruz Ragtime Festival will take place on February 27-28, 2016.

While the rich musical tradition of ragtime will be at the heart of the festival, plan to be dazzled by interpretations of jazz, swing, boogie-woogie, stride and novelty piano classics, performed by some of the best musicians in the world.

Music will be performed throughout the weekend at various venues including Pacific Avenue.

Saturday, February 27, the performances will be at the corner of Pacific Avenue and Cooper St near the sculpture.
