(BLACK PR WIRE) – Miami Gardens, FL – The City of Miami Gardens and its newly elected Mayor, Oliver Gilbert, and the City Council, proudly announce the highly anticipated dates for the 2013 “Jazz in the Gardens” Music Festival.

Tickets go on sale November 2012, and will be sold through Ticketmaster.

Numbers don’t lie. “Jazz in the Gardens” has proven to be a major player in South Florida’s economic development and tourism industry, with 48,000 attendees in 2012, and over 50% traveling from areas outside of South Florida. The magic is a multi-cultural tradition of exotic food offerings, including the famous “conch salad in a pineapple”, onsite shopping with vendors selling never before seen goods, and an eclectic, enthusiastic crowd with attendees from as far as Canada, Europe, and the Caribbean.

“This is the 8th year of “Jazz in the Gardens” and we’re hitting our stride. We want to make this the best entertainment experience anyone could ever attend in the U.S. It’s gonna be an all the way live weekend,” said the City of Miami Gardens Mayor, Oliver Gilbert.
