2017 Vail Jazz Festival

Make your way to the mountains this summer for the 2017 Vail Jazz Festival. It promises to be a summer of sizzling live performances, featuring a broad lineup of international, national and regional acts spanning the gamut from blues and soul to swing, bebop, gypsy jazz, Latin and much more!

Bring the whole family to the free shows throughout the summer at Riverwalk, The Market and The Remedy.

Vail Jazz @ Riverwalk concerts happen twice a month on Friday afternoons beginning June 9 with energetic nine-piece soul rockers, The Burroughs. The family-friendly, picnic-style atmosphere has arts and crafts, music, food, and entertainment options for every age group!
