It’s our annual jazz barbecue picnic and whether you bring your own food, or choose from our mouth watering menu, you’ll enjoy a great day of nonstop music, lots of food and a variety of vendors. Jazzfest is not only one of the region’s most popular summer jazz festivals, but also the longest running.

Jazzfest kicks off with a free concert on Friday June 4th and continues with nonstop music on Saturday from noon until 10:00 PM. All afternoon on Saturday, we’ll have continuous music in two great locations:

  • Outside on the lawn under the spacious Jazz Tent.
  • In the Dorothy Young Center Concert Hall, considered by many to be one of the finest acoustical halls in the country.

While enjoying your favorite music, take time to browse our expanded vendor tents, where you can purchase difficult to find jazz CDs and vinyl records, wearables, hand crafted jewelry, food treats and much more! Our food vendors will be open from 11:00 AM until 10:00 PM, serving up a scrumptious variety from coffee and bagels in the morning to lunch, dinner and dessert throughout the day and evening.
