The Monterey Jazz Festival is the longest continuously-running jazz festival in the world. Held annually on the storied Monterey County Fairgrounds, mark your calendars for MJF69, Sept. 25-27, 2026!
Monterey Jazz is about much more than our annual festival. From our all-star touring ensembles, summer camps, and recitals, to local pop-up concerts and bringing professional jazz musicians into our schools, Monterey Jazz is active and happening all year round.
Established in 1958, Monterey Jazz has grown from a single weekend on the Monterey County Fairgrounds into a year-round nonprofit dedicated to celebrating, supporting, and advancing jazz. The Monterey Jazz Festival is the longest continuously-running jazz festival in the world and remains our cornerstone, with nearly 3,000 performances across 69 years.
Today, our work extends far beyond the stage through education programs, artist support, and community engagement that sustain jazz for future generations. Though Jazz Appreciation Month is celebrated each April, jazz lives here year-round and we’re thankful for the ever-growing community that keeps it thriving. 🎺
