Denver is saying goodbye to the Five Points Jazz Festival, with a plan to replace the 20-year-old event with a year-round grant program meant to uplift the local jazz scene. Denver Arts & Venues, a city and county agency, made the announcement Thursday about the creation of the Five Points Jazz Activation Fund — and the simultaneous demise of the free one-day event in the Five Points neighborhood. The first Five Points Jazz Festival took place more than two decades ago in an area historically known as the Harlem of the West.
