Come out Saturday, October 6th for the 6th Annual Lake Anne Jazz Festival. This free, family friendly, all-day event will take place from 12:00 p.m. – 8:30 p.m. and will showcase a variety of talented local emerging artist and national jazz performers.

Singer-Songwriter-Musician Rashida Jolley returns to Lake Anne to headline this year's event. She spent the past year on world tours with international mega stars performing in major arenas across the world and gaining a huge fan base, crowning her "The Soul of R&B with the Power of Pop." She fuses various elements of R&B, Hip Hop, Classical, and Pop music together to produce a melodic and creative ground-breaking style that is all her own. When she was 7 years old, Rashida began singing lead in her church choir and started studying the harp at the DC Youth Orchestra at age 10. It was her mother's idea to combine her vocal stylings with the harp, so she began composing songs on the harp which became part of her performance.

The festival is sponsored by Lake Anne Merchants, Friends of Lake Anne, the Reston Community Center, Reston Association, Google, Bozzuto, Republic Land Development, IZZE Sparkling Juice, Walsh Colucci, Global Wines Virginia, and Associa Community Management Association.
