2011: We've already invited some bands for next year. Read more.

Welcome! The 37th annual Sacramento Jazz Festival and Jubilee was a fantastic event! In 2010, we offered more than 450 sets of live music! That's 24 venues with about 70 bands, including a few dozen internationally-known all-stars. Jazz fans were dancing in the streets! It was one giant party as the sounds of jazz, blues, zydeco (and related styles) permeated Old Sac, Midtown, and the Sacramento Convention Center. Specialty concerts and events included: the Opening Day Parade on Friday, the Molly Ringwald Quintet on Saturday, a Swing Dance Contest on Sunday (after a rousing Sunday morning Gospel Set) and finishing with Monday's Memorial Day Salute to Service, and energy-charged Closing Ceremony. Drexel University's Jazz Master Class Series presented well-known musicians speaking at this high-tech campus in Old Sac. UPDATE: View the entire Series online! Click here.
So much to do! Sip suds on a riverboat, ride a train, take a class, explore the CA State Railroad Museum, learn about the Gold Rush, and more!
