39th annual Detroit Jazz Festival

From 39th annual Detroit Jazz Festival Website:

For nearly 40 years, the Detroit Jazz Festival Foundation has celebrated Detroit's rich history of jazz music by providing year-round concerts and educational programming, and of course, organizing the world's largest free jazz festival over Labor Day weekend.

With the support of corporate sponsors, philanthropic organizations, individual donors and volunteers, the Detroit Jazz Festival is free to music fans looking to revel in the artistry and improvisation of jazz legends, rising stars, legacy and homecoming artists. Each year's lineup of more than 60 performances spanning multiple stages in Hart Plaza and Campus Martius, as well as spontaneous late-night jam sessions, offers something for everyone.

Our year-round educational programming creates one-of-a-kind opportunities for regional students and aspiring musicians to help them achieve artistic excellence, while our concerts celebrate the works of students and mentors, in addition to local and national artists.
