Jazz Fest After Dark

Multiple Venues | Downtown

You’ve seen the incredible Jacksonville Jazz Fest lineup — but don’t call it a night just yet! Jazz Fest After Dark keeps the music going with late-night sets at Downtown venues all weekend long.

This unofficial after-hours tradition is where festival goers head once the main stage lights go down. Check it out, discover something new, and don’t forget to wear your dancing shoes.
