Plans for the 40th Annual Bix Beiderbecke Memorial Jazz Festival, August 4 -August 7, 2011, are well in place for the most exciting weekend in the Festival's history.

In addition to concerts in Davenport's riverfront LeClaire Park , the best of traditional jazz will be heard in three other venues; the historic Hotel Blackhawk, the Col Ballroom, and the River Music Experience.

"We are bringing Bix home to downtown Davenport", is how one Board member characterized the 40th Festival.
