Grab your (sun) hat and get your tote, and meet me at the music fest, just direct your feet to the summer festival side of the street.

Yup, summer festival season is upon us, so it's good to map out the festivals you want to get to, and the concerts you want to hear.

And, of course, pack up your supplies in that previously mentioned tote. Naturally you'll be carrying sunscreen, thus the name of our series coverage, SPF '12. (SPF, sun protection factor, "12," 2012 – clever, huh? We think so.)

Check out the following jazz and world summer festival previews and festival-related posts, and stay tuned for more to come:
