JAZZ FEST UPDATE – The 2020 Twin Cities Jazz Festival planned for this June is postponed, but in the meantime, we created JAZZ FEST LIVE, a platform that brings live jazz performances into your home every Thursday at 7PM CDT. We’re not giving up on our artists and all the folks who make these free civic events happen and hope you’ll do the same by continuing your support. Jazz Fest live is presented by AARP Minnesota and supported by the Minnesota State Arts Board, St. Paul Cultural STAR, HIWAY Credit Union, JAZZ88 and by folks like you who support live jazz.
Please stay tuned for more updates on the crooners series which will resume once the stay at home order is lifted.
Check back for artist updates soon!
