Since its debut in 2022, the Fort Mose Jazz & Blues Series has welcomed visitors to learn, reflect and celebrate within a site of profound national importance. In 2025, efforts led by the Fort Mose Historical Society resulted in the construction of a representation of the original fort—helping guests better understand what daily life might have looked like for the men, women and children who sought freedom here nearly 300 years ago.

Designated a National Historic Landmark in 1994, Fort Mose stands as a symbol of resilience and hope. Visitors to the 2026 series not only enjoy extraordinary music, but also step into a story that continues to shape the cultural landscape of Florida’s Historic Coast.
