Spring is a full of color and life in Cape May. It is a great time to visit the Bacchus Inn and relax for a while.

Cape May has a great tradition the comes twice a year, the Cape May Jazz Festival. We are quickly approaching the spring event on April 16,17, and 18, 2010. There is always a great group of musical options at the Cape May Jazz Festival which feature jazz, blues, and latin. Many of the performer are from the region, NYC, Philadelphia, DC, but some come from far off as well.

The venues at the Cape May Jazz Festival are interesting as well. Some offer a very intimate setting where one can be close to the musicians. There are others venues that are much larger so as to accommodate several patrons. All of Cape May gets involved so a simply stroll among the restaurants and bars along the beach or the Washington Street Mall offers several musical options.

The Cape May Jazz festival is a great opportunity to meet up with old friends and listen to great music in the Historic beach front community of Cape May NJ. There is something special about listening to great music on a lazy afternoon watching the waves crash on the sea. Everyone can listen to great jazz but everyone should experience it down the shore in historic Cape May at least once.
