Over nine days the Rochester International Jazz Festival fills the east end cultural district with more than 1,500 artists performing in over 300 concerts. Music takes place on public outdoor stages and in ticketed indoor venues, with a mix of local, national and international performers, varied musical styles, special events, food and beverages, and nightly improvised jam sessions.

Plan to be in Rochester during June 18–26, 2027 so you can sample multiple concerts and the nightly jam sessions. Expect events both outdoors and in ticketed indoor spaces across the east end cultural district and build your days around the performances and food offerings you most want to see.
