Tacoma Jazz Festival

Mark your calendars, because the Tacoma Jazz and Blues Festival is back in town on Saturday, July 26! Head to South Tacoma Way between South 54th and South 56th Streets for a fun filled day of live music and delicious food! Tacoma Jazz Fest This year marks the 12th anniversary of the festival, and it is set to be the best one yet. With a variety of well-known artists including: Vicci Martinez, Rich Wetzels Groovin Higher Orchestra, Keith Klawitter Jazz Alliance and many others. Performances will be held on a mix of outdoor stages, and indoor venues, so you dont have to worry about baking in the sun all day. The event organizers have gone to great lengths to make this years festival even better than the last. For the first time, attendees to this 21+ event will have access to a fully stocked beer garden. Another big improvement this year is the selection of venues; all stages and venues will be within a two-block radius which will be closed off to automobiles, allowing unhindered foot traffic around the area. This is a BIG step up from previous years which saw venues up to five miles apart from one another. The event starts at 1:00PM and, in true jazz fashion, goes until late in the night when the venues close. For tickets or additional information, head to tacomajazzfestival.com.
