The City of West Palm Beach Community Events Division produces over 600 unique, original, award-winning family-friendly events each year, most of which are free. Our beautiful city provides a spectacular backdrop year-round to entertain and delight people of all ages, and from all walks of life.  

Festivals and events have a place of honor in West Palm Beach as essential tools for creating the city's urban character.  As one of the fastest growing cities in the U.S., West Palm Beach has retained the sense of a smaller, more connected community due in large part to its events.

A vibrant hub of culture, business, and fun, see why West Palm Beach has been designated as a World Festival & Event City by the International Festivals & Events Association (IFEA).

 

Soul in the City Jazz Experience: CeCe Teneal

Just a country girl from Florida born in rural Osteen (just outside of Orlando), CeCe Teneal has since brought her music to over 47 countries as the opening act for Buddy Guy, Joe Cocker, Johnny Lang, Betty Wright, Cameo, Robert Randolph & the Family Band, Jazmin Sullivan, Fantasia, Maze & Frankie Beverly, and the legendary B.B. King. She currently tours both her soulful and funky originals as well as a celebration of the music of Aretha Franklin to tens of thousands annually at performing arts centers around the United States and onboard multiple luxury cruise lines.

CeCe never envisioned herself as a performer, but having inherited her voice from her mother, the universe had a different plan. She has been nominated for four Independent Music Awards and claimed the title for 2011 Best Gospel Song (“I Heard You Prayin’“) and 2011 Best R&B Album (Train from Osteen), as well as 2018 Best Soul/Funk/Fusion Song (“Danger”). Other accolades include the 2008-2010 Orlando Best Live Band, the 2017 Orlando Music Trailblazer Award, and the honor of being chosen as the halftime headliner for the 2019 Citrus Bowl. In 2022, Mayor Buddy Dyer and Mayor Jerry Demmings proclaimed September 17th as Annual Cece Teneal Day in Orlando and Orange County respectively to celebrate her 20 years of arts and entertainment contributions.

Tickets are general admission only. There is no reserved seating at this event. Doors open at 6:30 p.m. This event is brought to you by the City of West Palm Beach and the West Palm Beach Downtown Development Authority. For more information on this Jazz Experience, please visit www.DowntownWPB.com/Jazz
