Festival Information

Nearly 500 artists will perform indoors and outdoors for three nights and two days playing world-class jazz and other genres. 

DownBeat Magazine describes the festival as offering "the type of diverse, top-tier talent typically found at a much larger festival, along with some adventourous programming that was spiced with compelling international flavors." JazzFest also offers nine ticketed indoor shows, various free bands on the outdoor stage, Chemical Bank Jazz Talk Tent, shopping, JACK 🖤 CLE Brew Garden, street performers and games, U.S. Bank Kids Club and much more! 

JazzFest partners with various Cleveland venues, including Playhouse Square, the Tri-C Metropolitan Campus, the Cleveland Museum of Art, BOP STOP at The Music Settlement, BLU Jazz+ and Nighttown.
