The DC Jazz Festival is spreading the jazz gospel around the city as much as possible, with shows planned at various venues in addition to the main event at The Wharf.

DC Jazz Festival is back in closer to pre-pandemic form this year, with shows to be held around the city over the course of five days. Organizers hope to eventually building back up to the 10-day event of years past.

Though it’s only half as long as in previous years, some local favorites will be playing.

“Jazz is about celebrating our diversity on the bandstand and in the audience.”

The full schedule includes more than 125 performances in over 40 venues located in each of D.C.’s quadrants, so we don’t blame you for having choice paralysis.

The annual festival, now in its fourteenth year, begins in earnest on Friday and offers something for everybody.

The DC Jazz Festival ended on Sunday, marking the end of a fantastic ten days’ worth of music.

This week in jazz is looking mighty fine.
