Enjoy the Northampton Jazz Festival this weekend with jazz performances by local and visiting artists at over a dozen different venues around downtown Northampton. We have lined up the best local, regional, and national jazz musicians for this annual weekend filled with free jazz in downtown Northampton.
Stroll, sip and dine your way through downtown Northampton to the sounds of jazz ensembles at establishments across town. The Jazz Strut features free evening jazz performances in breweries, bars and restaurants throughout downtown Northampton. Each ensemble starts at 30-minute intervals and plays for two hours, so you can be sure to catch a lot of live jazz and good times on Jazz Strut night!
Jazz combos play all over town on Friday, Sept. 27 starting at 4:30 PM at Pulaski Park with two student bands. Music at breweries, bars and restaurants start every 1/2 hour from 6 to 9 PM, so you can grab lots of great food, drink and music on Jazz Strut Night!
