Take a right onto Minnesota Ave, and turn right at the JazzFest sign. No, JazzFest is a FREE event! Generous sponsorships from many local and regional companies as well as hundreds of volunteers from the community allow the event to remain free to the public. Because there is free admission, we ask that attendants not bring in any outside food or beverages. JazzFest is possible because of our sponsors, volunteers and the sale of food and beverages at the event.
