Delaware Water Gap Celebration of the Arts

Sep 09 - Sep 12, 2011

Since 1978, COTA has grown into a major jazz and cultural event, and is now attended by nearly 4,000 fans annually. COTA has always been an all-volunteer festival, and this has created its intimate spirit and the sense of community fostered by it. Jazz lovers will be able to enjoy two full days of music including an eclectic mix of Bebop, Swing, Blues, Jazz Fusion, Big Band Sounds, and Dixieland. The world-class musicians who perform live in the Pocono region, and the artists, artisans, and even the food vendors who participate are mostly local. At its core, this is the spirit of the festival. This year the festival will celebrate all things Bob Dorough. Bring blanket or lawn chair. Reasonably priced.
