The event will be held on the patio of the King George II Inn, on the Delaware River, in the Bristol wharf area. 

The event is a fundraiser for the Grundy Foundation’s Academic Oversight Committee, an organization that helps deliver vital academic content at Bristol Borough’s three Learning Centers. The after-school programs and summer activities are free for all of the town’s school students, and are held at Snyder-Girotti Elementary, Bristol High, and St. Mark schools. 

Tickets are $60 per person, and include a buffet dinner, two drink tickets for cocktails, beer, or wine.

One hundred percent of the ticket sales will go to the AOC, said Robert Strasser, co-owner of the historic King George II Inn. 

The inn owners make it a point to hire any young person who comes in looking for a job. And the Grundy Foundation does an excellent job providing the programs, and “we are excited to participate,” Strasser said.

Many people who have attended the previous jazz festival are happy to come back for good food and good music, all for a good cause, he added. 

All ticketholders will receive a wristband upon arrival that will give them access to the drinks and buffet.

Tickets are available at the Bristol Borough Tax Office, Pond and Mulberry streets; Great Ids by Anne, Radcliffe and Mignoni Jewelry, 200 Mill Street.
