Keep the Rhythm of Jazz Fest Going All Weekend
Jazz Fest After Dark
The annual Jacksonville Jazz Fest returns May 21–24, 2026 and this year, you won’t have to wait for the stage lights to dim to keep the party going. New for 2026, free entertainment will be popping off at participating venues across Downtown Jacksonville all day and all weekend long!
Jazz Fest After Dark brings rhythm to Bay Street (and all across Downtown!) from sunup to sundown throughout Memorial Day Weekend. Hop from venue to venue and soak up live music, free entry and nonstop fun all weekend long.
