From the BCCT:
The festival is held in memory of Michael F. Sherlock, late husband of council President Nancy Sherlock, an avid music lover who died of cancer in 2002.
Williamson Park in Morrisville is becoming one musical joint this month.
The first of 11 free, summertime events kicked off last weekend, and have your dogs, Daddy-o, walk you to one of Morrisville's big draws at the riverside park this weekend.
The annual Morrisville Jazz Festival, from 3 p.m. to 8 p.m. Sunday at the Delmorr Avenue park, features music from former Morrisville resident Eric Mintel of the Eric Mintel Quartet, the Dan McCombe Trio and the Arpeggio Jazz Ensemble.
In its sixth year, the jazz festival is sponsored by the Michael F. Sherlock Foundation, the borough and the Pennsylvania Council on the Arts, organizers said.
The foundation was formed by borough council President Nancy Sherlock and her family in memory of her late husband, who at 50 passed away from lung cancer in 2002. It was formed to support and sponsor musical and community events, as its namesake was an avid music lover, and raise money through donations to support cancer research, according to Morrisvillejazzfest.com.
