The festival is operated by the Jazz Corner Society, a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization. It has been our mission to provide the finest music experience for our beloved communities and after all these years, this gathering has remained FREE TO THE PUBLIC! But of course, we could not do that without the generous aid from our sponsors and donors. Click below for a list of recent sponsors!

OUTREACH

In efforts to give back to the community, the festival invites exceptional, local school jazz bands to be featured on the stage both days of the festival. The Jazz Corner Society hosts an Improv Contest for select, high schoolers who demonstrate a passion for improvising on their instrument. Two selected winners get the opportunity to work with local jazz professionals in a one-on-one workshop environment and are featured on Saturday afternoon’s schedule. Sunday morning, the stage holds a clinic and workshop for all students involved in the festival and is open to the public. Click below for more information about the clinic and Improv Contest.
