For a week in May, all eyes and ears will focus on Ballard. Through attention from regional jazz radio and features in local print and TV media, it is the community of Ballard that shines by their support of the festival as it benefits from over 2000 attendees arriving for dining, shopping, music and mingling, along with ever-increasing numbers of out-of-state tourists who have made the Festival a destination event.

With the support of our business and civic partners, we expanded from 2003’s single night Jazz Walk with six clubs, to four days of music involving 100+ performers, 15 performance venues, concerts, educational events, and more.
