Top 5 Concerts & Shows in Gainesville, Florida (FL)
Home to the University of Florida, the largest and oldest university in the state, as well as the Santa Fe Community College, Gainesville is a hub of education and culture. Perhaps due to its strong student population, the city is also at the heart of independent music in Florida, having produced numerous musical acts from a variety of genres. The natural surroundings, including parks, lakes and the adjacent Paynes Prairie State Reserve provide a green getaway from the bustle of city life.

Jazz at The Hipp is amazing! Down in the basement, an ideal venue for these Monday evenings of musical magic, young musicians blend with maestros to delight discerning audiences. We caught music students from UF, joined on one amazing jam by their Professor (who happens to be a three times Grammy nominee). We'll try The Hipp upstairs sometime, but not at the expense of missing the jazz.
