CELEBRATE
SEPTEMBER 22 - 26 • INDIANAPOLIS, IN
Now in its 28th year, Indy Jazz Fest is Indianapolis's answer to a simple, radical idea: that great music belongs to everyone. Each September, we bring the city together under one groove — world-class artists, rising voices, and the community that makes it all matter.
Jazz is America's original art form, and Indianapolis has always had something to say about it. This is our stage, our sound, and our celebration.
Come as you are. Stay for the music. September 22–26, 2026 — we'll see you there.
