Redwood Coast Jazz Festival is one of the North Coastt's hottest events. Cool jazz sounds emanate from the land that defines cool, with its towering redwood forests that surround the city of Eureka. Tourists can hop on board for Jazz, swing, calypso, zydeco and acts happening all over town. There's a free jitney bus service that runs throughout, connecting the various venues of the event. With three of the Venues offering big dance floors, you'll need to save your energy for the main draw, the music. Call for Tickets: (707) 445-3378. redwoodjazz.org
