Jacksonville Jazz Fest strikes a chord, named best festival in JAXBest 2025 contest
Jacksonville Jazz Festival, Oct. 1, 2021.
JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – After bringing sweet melodic sounds to Jacksonville’s riverfront for years, the Jacksonville Jazz Fest was named the best festival in the area.
Our News4JAX Insiders chose it over three other top finalists:
904 Pop Up
Fernandina Beach Pride Festival
St. Augustine Celtic Music & Heritage Festival
The four-day Jacksonville Jazz Fest is the country’s largest free entertainment festival, full of good vibes, good food and live music in downtown Jacksonville.
The Jazz Fest is no newcomer to Jacksonville. It’s been around for more than three decades and has drawn thousands from all over to enjoy the sweet sounds of many jazz legends.
Though this year’s festival has passed, you can make plans for its return in 2026 on Memorial Day weekend.
