Tonight kicks off the 29th annual Alexander City Jazz Fest at 6 p.m. in Strand Park. The Bank Walkers will start out the night followed by Sam Burchfield & The Scoundrels at 7:30 and finally Willie Sugarcapps at 9. 

Grab your chairs, blankets, coolers and friends and head out tonight and Saturday night, too. This kind of event comes only once a year and it’s something Alexander City residents and even out-of-towners shouldn’t miss.
