It is with heavy hearts that we share that the 2026 Vanport Jazz Festival has been canceled.

This was not an easy decision, but one made with great care and out of respect for the experience our community deserves.

To every artist, sponsor, volunteer, vendor, partner, and especially every ticket holder—thank you. Your support, encouragement, and belief in this festival have meant the world.

Please read the official announcement below for important information regarding automatic ticket refunds and additional details.

We’re grateful for this incredible community and remain hopeful to celebrate together again in August 2027. ❤️🎷
