This August 8-10, celebrate the 35th anniversary of San Jose Jazz Summer Fest, with nine stages of jazz, blues, R&B, Latin, salsa, NOLA and more! Alongside international stars like Common, Mavis Staples, PJ Morton, Nidia Góngora and Femi Kuti, this special year includes a new programming stream, “Future of Jazz” with groundbreaking artists like José James, Kiefer, Ghost-Note, David Binney with Pera Krstajic & Louis Cole, and Stella Cole, plus a spectacular display of eight gigantic alebrije sculptures from Oaxaca, Mexico.

Called “one of the world’s great urban jazz festivals” by DownBeat, Summer Fest is more than just music—it’s the quintessential summer experience featuring tasty food, wine and microbrews; family fun and a Club Crawl for the grown-ups.
