Our Story

Austin, proudly known as "The Live Music Capital of the World," boasts a rich and diverse musical landscape. Yet, for aficionados of smooth jazz, a distinct void existed. This is precisely why the Austin Area Jazz Festival was founded in 2015.

Our mission from the outset has been to fill this gap by presenting performances from top-tier jazz talent, showcasing extraordinary visual artists, and simultaneously raising vital funds for the numerous programs of the Boys & Girls Clubs of South Central Texas, who proudly operate this event.

Party with a Purpose

We firmly believe in the power of "partying with a purpose," and our festival is a vibrant testament to this philosophy. Thanks to the unwavering support of jazz and art enthusiasts from across the Austin area, Houston, Dallas, San Antonio, and indeed, the entire nation, we have experienced continuous growth year after year.

Celebrating Music, Art and Community

AAJF is more than just a festival; it's a profound celebration of music, art, and community spirit. We extend our heartfelt gratitude to everyone who has contributed to the Austin Area Jazz Festival's success over the years, and we are committed to continually delivering the best in entertainment, art, and culture.
