Outdoor Events

JazzFest

Playhouse Square is the place to be June 28-30, 2018, when some of the best musicians from Northeast Ohio and beyond take to the outdoor stage, complete with a dance floor. There's more to JazzFest than just music. Don't miss the U.S. Bank Kids Club for wee boppers, food trucks, local merchants in Vendor Village, indoor artists chatting in the Jazz Talk Tent, cooking demos and samples -- the list goes on and on.

You won't want to miss it.  

Outdoor Bands

Thank you to all who applied to play on the outdoor stage at Tri-C JazzFest this year. Applications are now closed and selected bands will be notified by April 9, 2018. Stay tuned.
