The 2024 UPTOWN Music & Arts Festival is being produced by UEG Productions, Inc., a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization. The UPTOWN Music & Arts Festival is one of the premier cultural events in the Tampa Bay area, featuring a diverse lineup of international, chart-topping contemporary jazz musicians and visual artists. In addition to bringing top-quality jazz musicians to the area, the mission of UEG Productions, Inc. is to provide financial support to local non-profit community organizations and music and art education programs for youth in the Tampa Bay area. In 2024, the UPTOWN Music & Arts Festival is expanding to a two-day festival over Memorial Day weekend and is moving to beautiful Curtis Hixon Riverfront Park in downtown Tampa.

The contemporary jazz community is an affluent, well-educated, and fiercely loyal community who are accustomed to traveling to jazz festivals throughout the country and the globe. Approximately 40% of the 2023 UPTOWN Music & Arts Festival attendees were from outside of the Tampa Bay area, many of whom traveled from as far away as New York, Ohio, Illinois, and beyond. We have expanded our marketing strategy from local and regional advertising to include national and international marketing, which is surely to increase attendance. The festival attracts a diverse group of patrons in the 35 to 65 age range, with significant disposable income. The UPTOWN Music & Arts Festival is an excellent opportunity to market your brand while also supporting the Tampa Bay community.

Join us in our mission to support local non-profit community organizations that provide critical services to the underserved in the Tampa Bay area and music and arts education programs for youth.
