JAZZ IN THE PLAZA SET RIGHT IN THE HEART OF JACKSONVILLE RIVERFRONT
Introducing Jazz in the Plaza — a brand-new stage experience at the 2026 Jacksonville Jazz Festival, set right in the heart of Riverfront Plaza. This is Jacksonville’s moment to shine. All weekend, local jazz and R&B artists take the stage, delivering the authentic sound and soul of Northeast Florida’s music community. With additional food vendors on-site and a free, all-ages atmosphere, Jazz in the Plaza is the perfect complement to the Ford on Bay headliner stage. Catch it all May 22–24, 2026, in Downtown Jacksonville.
This is a rain or shine event. All performers listed are subject to change or cancellation.
