Maryland’s capital city will host the Annapolis Jazz & Roots Festival on two consecutive weekends this fall. From November 4 – 15, 2022, the historic port will reclaim an important part of its musical heritage with concerts and lectures for adults, families and children. Some are ticketed – many are free.
