The 6th-annual Peekskill Jazz and Blues Festival drew thousands to Central Avenue and North Division Street on Saturday. The streets were jammin' with people dancing, clapping and having a great time.

Several local businesses kicked off the event at 1 p.m. with a live jazz brunch while later in the day, four acts took to the main stage to entertain the crowd for the free event.

Nation Beat started the show, followed by the Marc Cary Focus Trio, Saxophonist Lakecia Benjamin and Soul Squad, who brought the crowd to it's feet. The show was headlined by Latin Jazz performer Bobby Sanabria & Ascension.
