We are a local charitable organization that brings Jazz in its traditional and more modern forms to suburban Maryland and DC. Every June we host a free all-day jazz festival on the streets of Takoma Park, Maryland. The Fest has two stages, with music featuring local and nationally known performers, food and art/craft vendors. This is a FREE family event which is held rain or shine. We also host the Jazz Brawl every February. The Brawl is a contest between up-and-coming local bands that compete for a chance to play at the Fest in June.
