We are so pleased to welcome JazzFest Michigan back to the streets of Old Town, Lansing. With over 30 different performances, we have a terrific line-up of artists who are as excited to get back in front of an audience as we are to hear them. There will be something for everyone—even the kids!

Enjoy a weekend of energy, excitement, music and coming together again as a community, where we can reconnect with old friends and make new ones.

Special Song Premieres:

As an added benefit, each artist has agreed to premiere a song, composition or arrangement that they’ve never performed publicly before.

Enjoy The Social District:

Old Town’s new designation as a Social District means festival goers can buy and consume and walk on the streets with appropriately labeled alcoholic beverages from sponsor UrbanBeat and other bars and restaurants, while seeing all that JazzFest has to offer.

There will be four venues this year: the South and North Turner Street Stages, the River Stage (Premier seats) and the UrbanBeat Afterglow Stage. Turner Street and River Stages are open-air. The Afterglow Stage is indoors at UrbanBeat.
