About the Event 

Now in its 14th year, the Scottsdale Jazz Festival aligns with UNESCO’s International Jazz Day, this time paying a special tribute to the late legendary musician and producer Quincy Jones. The Scottsdale Jazz Fest celebrates the rich history and cultural significance of jazz music and is just one of UNESCO’s International Jazz Day global events.  

Performers at the 2025 Scottsdale Jazz Fest include RnR featuring Rick Braun & Richard Elliot, Turning Point, Carlos Rivas Y Mex-sal featuring Luisito Rosario, Nayo Jones Experience, and the Dan Pinson All-Star Band. 

This event is more than a day of top-tier performances by exciting jazz artists.  Enjoy dancing under the stars, surrounded by the beauty of Scottsdale’s Civic Center, as the music fills the air. Food and drink vendors add to the festival’s charm, serving a variety of tasty options. Choose from early-bird discounts, upgraded seating, or the true VIP jazz experience. It’s a day of incredible live music with a welcoming vibe and free parking—fun for families, couples, or solo attendees!
