GRUGELFEST 2016 will be held the weekend of September 9 - 11 at the Park Inn by Radisson Hotel, 101 N Summit Street in downtown Toledo. Named for the late Ralph Grugel, leader of Cleveland’s Eagle Jazz Band, GRUGELFEST has replaced the annual Fall Dixieland Festival produced for more than 20 years by the EARLYJAS Club of Northeast Ohio. Traditional New Orleans Jazz will be featured during 4 sessions: Friday night (6 PM – Midnight), Saturday afternoon (11 AM – 5 PM), Saturday night (6 PM – Midnight), and Sunday (11:30 AM – 6 PM).
A Pre-Festival party will be held on Thursday night (September 8) at YE OLDE DURTY BIRD . . . Downtown Toledo’s Gastropub (just around the corner from the Park Inn Hotel) with music by Ragtime Rick and the Chefs of Dixieland, for those who can’t wait for the party to begin.
On Sunday morning, a Dixieland Worship Service will be held at Bethel Lutheran Church, 1853 South Avenue (just 3.5 miles from the Park Inn hotel). Everyone attending GRUGELFEST 2016 is encouraged to attend, and a free shuttle from the hotel will be provided. After the service, a chicken barbeque dinner will be held.
