The Cleveland Jazz Festival began in 2022 as a community arts program in Cleveland, Ohio. At that time, we operated  mostly in private events. In 2025 we decided to expand our community outreach through an affiliation with the public library system. Presently, we are comprised of three main components; live music performance, education, and community arts events. We aspire to grow in these areas as we prepare for our annual summer festival concert series. We invite all members of the community to join us and help us reach all of Northeast Ohio with this mission.
