Celebration of the Arts Festival - Delaware Water Gap, PA Friday - Sunday - September 7-9, 2007 "I have a dream, that musicians will be known in the Delaware Water Gap, like the trees are known. Something that is forever." - co-founder Phil Woods - many times Grammy winner. The Delaware Water Gap Celebration of the Arts is a non-profit organization founded by Phil Woods, Rick Chamberlain and Ed Joubert in 1978 to foster an appreciation of jazz and its relationship to other artistic disciplines.
