Ballard Jazz Festival set for April 16 – 19

The 12th annual Ballard Jazz Festival will take place from April 16 through 19 this year.

The festival embraces the feeling of “old” Ballard and will feature a wide variety of modern American music at clubs, bars, shops, and at the Nordic Heritage Museum.

Throughout the years, the  festival which lasts for four days, has grown into a huge part of the Northwest’s jazz and live music scene. The festival experiences strong support by local businesses, media outlets and the community itself. The festival attracts around 2,000 music fans each year and is a big boost to the Ballard economy.

Ballard Jazz Festival each year brings in talented musicians from all over the world. This year the festival is set to feature world class acts including Sonny Fortune, Chano Dominguez, Marina Alberto, Dana Hall, and many more .

“Our program for this season promises to continue on that path with more music than ever,” writes organizers on the Ballard Jazz Festival website.
