Baltimore Jazz Festival 2023 W/ Larnell Lewis, Tweet, and The System

When it comes to the essential part of entertainment history, people will often mention New York, New Orleans, and Detroit. However, Baltimore has contributed to the cultural and musical landscape, especially in the terms of JAZZ with Hometown Legends, either born and/or raised in Baltimore, such as James Hubert Blake, Billie Holiday, Cabell "Cab" Calloway III, William Henry "Chick" Webb, just to name a few.

The Baltimore Jazz Festival strives to continue with the tradition. Moreover, our goal is to ensure the perpetuity of jazz music and do our part to help the jazz community thrive for generations to come. We will be showing off the best of what Charm City has to offer with live music, crabs, brunch vibes and laughter.
