Eau Claire Jazz Festival
Jazz Crawl
Save The Date: April 17, 2026!
Each spring, the Eau Claire Jazz Festival brings music back into downtown — filling theaters, bars, and gathering spaces with the sound of live jazz. Performances unfold across the city throughout the weekend, from ticketed concerts and headline shows to late-night sets that carry on long after sunset.
Organized by the nationally recognized music program at UW–Eau Claire, the festival is the largest student-run jazz festival in the country, bringing together world-class artists and emerging student musicians in a way that feels uniquely Eau Claire — collaborative, welcoming, and deeply rooted in the community.
Use this page to explore the lineup, plan your visit, and spend a spring weekend experiencing live music as the season settles back into rhythm.
