Welcome
Our 12th St. Petersburg Jazz Festival is coming soon!
Thanks to all who attended the 2019 St. Petersburg Jazz Festival! We have our lineup for the 2020 St. Petersburg Jazz Festival, scheduled February 26 - March 1.
We open Wednesday evening with Brazilian jazz group O Som Do Jazz with guest flutist, Jose Valentino Ruiz and Brazilian percussionist Rafael Pereira. On Thursday evening, we have the amazing jazz/funk fusion group The Conglomerate from Orlando. Friday evening is virtuoso steel pan artist Leon Foster Thomas with Tal Cohen and his group. Saturday's concert features vocalist Alexis Cole and the 18-piece Helios Jazz Orchestra. The final concert on Sunday is a tribute to the innovative trumpeter and composer Booker Little, led by Jason Charos and jazz musicians from the Frost School of Music in Miami.
You won't find giant columns of speakers or food trucks at the St. Petersburg Jazz Festival. Ours is an intimate listening experience for true lovers of jazz.
