Sunshine and a stellar lineup brought crowds out Labor Day weekend for the fifth Anacortes Jazz Festival, where attendees quietly listened to the improvisations of jazz legends and danced to catchy tunes.
By Monday afternoon, organizers stopped looking so worried and could even be seen dancing on Curtis Wharf.
“My sense is Saturday is the best we’ve ever done, Sunday was about two-thirds of that and today maybe half,” said Chamber of Commerce Executive Director Mitch Everton. “We had three very fortunate days in regards to the weather. The bottom line is I’m very pleased.”
