About this Event
The Downtown Memphis Commission is excited to announce the inaugural Memphis Jazz Festival, taking place October 9–11, 2026, in Downtown Memphis. The three-day festival will be free and open to the public, bringing together local talent, national artists, and music lovers for a celebration of jazz in the heart of our city.
Memphis is known around the world for its music. While blues, soul, rock ’n’ roll, and gospel are deeply woven into our identity, jazz is also an important part of the Memphis music story. The Memphis Jazz Festival will celebrate that legacy while creating a new platform for the musicians and creatives shaping its future.
Date: October 9-11, 2026
Location: Main Street
Cost: Free and open to all!
While the Memphis Jazz Festival is free and open to the public, attendees are encouraged to RSVP to stay informed about festival announcements, artist lineups, schedules, locations, and everything you need to know to make the most of the festival experience.
