IT’S HERE!! Thirteen years ago, someone had the hare-brained idea to cram a couple hundred people into a room in Spenard, and call it Spenard Jazz Fest. Of course, in 2020 we are thinking about anything BUT cramming a couple hundred people (or even a couple dozen!) people into any physical space.

Introducing, Spenard Jazz Fest 2020: Hunker Down Edition!

Starting with our FREE kick-off event THIS SATURDAY May 16th right here on Facebook, Spenard Jazz Fest will be hosting THREE packed weeks of workshops, discussions, premieres, and of course, concerts -- now all online!
