The San Antonio Summer Art & Jazz Festival, also known as SAS FEST, is a free, three-day event featuring an outstanding line-up of sixteen local, regional, and nationally known jazz artists, with an Arts & Crafts Fair, as well as delicious food and drinks, and we are now adding the 1st Annual San Antonio Summer Art & Jazz Festival Fajita Cook-off Competition. Developed from a passion for jazz music and through the promotion of great jazz music to all of San Antonio, all Texas, and the West Coast, SAS FEST helps to make this community a much better place for everyone. SAS FEST this year is host to 25 children from Meadowland Children’s Home. SAS FEST also takes the great music performed at our event here in San Antonio and takes it worldwide, from Australia to China and even to the Ukraine. SAS FEST also presents a humanitarian award every year to an individual who helped advance, improve, and promote the community of San Antonio. These individuals have been directly involved in the community and have devoted a portion of their lives to helping improve and make the world a much better place for others.
