JazzFest Michigans 32nd annual festival was a major success! Thank you to our sponsors & volunteers for helping making this years festival happen. With your support, we brought national acts to Lansing, put a spotlight on Michigan composers & expanded the festival to reach 3 stages in 5 days.

To everyone who came out, thank you! We hope you enjoyed the array of live jazz music and enjoyed our vendors, food, beverages and more.

We can’t wait for next year!

And save the date! Michigan BluesFest is right around the corner, September 16-19, bringing Lansing 4 days of Blues across 3 stages!

The Biggest JazzFest Michigan Yet Starts August 5!

We're expanding to 5 incredible days and 3 unique stages—giving you even more live jazz, unforgettable performances, and ways to experience the music you love.

✨ Wednesday & Thursday (Aug. 5–6) kick things off with intimate concerts inside UrbanBeat, where you'll be just steps away from world-class musicians in a listening-room atmosphere that every jazz lover will appreciate.

🎶 Friday the celebration spills outdoors as Turner Street comes alive! Along with the UrbanBeat Stage, we're shutting down Turner street to welcome the Cold Plunge Stage, local vendors, food, drinks, and the vibrant energy that makes JazzFest Michigan so special.

🎺 Saturday is our biggest day yet, featuring all three stages—including the new Fish Ladder Music Park Stage—with music happening throughout the day across Old Town Lansing.

🙏 Sunday brings everything together with a soulful Gospel Brunch inside UrbanBeat, followed by Pzazz, an inspiring afternoon of poetry and jazz to close out an unforgettable festival.

More music. More stages. More ways to experience JazzFest Michigan than ever before. Mark your calendars for August 5–9 and get ready for our biggest celebration of jazz yet! 🎷❤️
