A Bit of History

Now, let’s take a moment to appreciate the history that makes this event even more special. The festival started as part of a revitalization project for Charlie’s Place, a once-vibrant nightclub that was a staple of the Myrtle Beach jazz scene from the late 1930s to the early 1960s. Located right next door to the Fitzgerald family’s home, it was a hotspot for legendary African-American artists, including Dizzy Gillespie, Little Richard, Billie Holiday, and Duke Ellington.

City officials aimed to restore the spirit of Carver Street by bringing back its musical roots, and what better way than with a jazz festival that celebrates this rich history?
