Okay, we bet you knew that last one, and possibly one or two other items on the above list. But the point is, the Healdsburg Jazz Festival is more than just an annual music festival. The Healdsburg Jazz Festival’s mission is to promote and preserve the jazz art form … and we work towards that mission 365 days of the year.

The Healdsburg Jazz Festival is a celebration of the indigenous American art form known as Jazz. Over the past decade-plus, the Healdsburg Jazz Festival has become a favorite local tradition with a growing national reputation. This 10-day festival of public performances by world-renowned musicians in diverse settings, including the historic Raven Theater, the glamorous Hotel Healdsburg, and several boutique restaurants and wineries, has grown into one of the North Bay’s most celebrated annual musical events.
