Northampton Jazz Festival

Music

The Northampton Jazz Festival returns with lots of live jazz music throughout downtown on Friday, September 27 and Saturday, September 28, 2024!

Now in it's 13th year, the fest brings internationally renowned artists, local musicians and rising jazz stars to downtown Northampton.

Stroll, dine and sip your way through town during Friday's Jazz Strut showcasing seven local and regional jazz ensembles at Northampton's breweries, bars and restaurants. No cover, no minimum.

Saturday Jazz Fest Day is "Jazz Without Borders" - we're bringing musicians from all over the world to infuse downtown Northampton with a cultural melting pot of sound, uniting people through the vibrant diversity of jazz. The FREE music lineup features musicians from nations around the globe performing at downtown venues throughout the day culminating in a special, ticketed concert of Anat Cohen Quartetinho at the Academy of Music.
