We go through like 60 cases of chicken on Saturday and then on Sunday we go through like 50 cases of chicken. That\u2019s a lot of chicken!\u201d said Thompson.<\/p>\n<p>The success is no shock to community leaders. Connie Kinnard with the Greater Miami Convention &amp; Visitors Bureau says the research proved the economic impact it has on the community.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAbout 12.3 million in direct spending is what Jazz in the Gardens brings to the community,\u201d said Kinnard.<\/p>\n<p>Which is why Kingston Delight staples, like their jerk chicken recipe, have done so well with crowds over the years.<\/p>\n<p>Thompson says just being at the festival has brought in hundreds of new customers.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cGoing to Jazz in the Gardens, they take your card, \u2018Where you located at? Where\u2019s your business?\u2019 And stuff like that, and they do come back,\u201d said Thompson.<\/p>\n<p>All that business is music to their ears.<\/p>\n<p>Afterall, back in 2020, businesses lost money due to the festival being canceled.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt was a hit as far as economics and expectations as I mentioned in 2019. The spending number was around 12.3 million so that means at that time we lost around that much. So, we\u2019re happy to have it back,\u201d said Kinnard.<\/p>\n<p>SOURCE<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>MIAMI GARDENS (CBSMiami) \u2013\u00a0Jazz in the Gardens\u00a0provides a huge profit for local vendors. \u201cI cannot wait, I cannot wait for Jazz in the Gardens!\u201d said Donovan Thompson, the owner of\u00a0Kingston Delight.
