| Fort Mose Jazz & Blues Series - Honoring History and Community Through Music in St. Augustine in February The inaugural Fort Mose Jazz & Blues Series is a collection of six memorable performances honoring both the rich history of American music, and the legacy of the first free Black settlement in what is now the United States. In the course of two weekends, from February 18-26, 2022, world-class artists like the Legendary Count Basie Orchestra and Gregory Porter will grace our stages to celebrate these two incredible genres of music at Fort Mose Historic State Park. Proceeds from this event will support construction of an on-site fort representation and development of interpretive resources. The original fort was destroyed during the Battle of Bloody Mose in 1740. Join the celebration of history, freedom, and creativity through the incomparable joy of live music.
