The 30th and final Chestertown Jazz Festival was a beautiful day filled with wonderful music, smiling faces, and memories we will treasure.

Now comes the part no one sees — paying the final bills.

Putting on the festival is very expensive. Although the music has ended, we still have expenses from our final festival to pay, and we are gratefully accepting donations to help cover those remaining costs.

To everyone who has supported us over these 30 years — our sponsors, donors, volunteers, musicians, friends, and faithful festival-goers — thank you from the bottom of our hearts. You helped keep the music playing year after year, and we could never have done it without you.

Every donation, no matter the amount, will help us pay the remaining expenses from our final festival and close this wonderful 30-year chapter on a high note.

Thank you for helping us finish 30 unforgettable years of Jazz by the River with love, gratitude, and one final act of support.
