Yes! We've re-branded the Jazz Fest! After 14 years with the original logo, we thought 2025 was a good year to freshen things up. Giving a nod to our original logo with flugelhorn, we have kept the horn, but pay more homage to our host city of Northampton. Thanks to graphic designer Alejandro Vicuna-Leyton for his excellent work!

The Northampton Jazz Festival infuses downtown Northampton with live jazz!
The Northampton Jazz Festival was founded in 2011, and showcases scores of free live jazz performances throughout downtown over two days each fall, capped by a concert by jazz luminaries.
"The energy of the crowd that came to hear us and the vibe of the whole event was magical and inspiring and pushed us to play what we all felt was one of our best sets ever."
–Guitarist Jason Ennis, Tone Forest
“Downtown Northampton felt like New Orleans last night!”
