Welcome to Leimert Park Jazz Festival—where jazz, community and culture converge. We are a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization with the mission of preserving and celebrating the rich tradition of jazz, nurturing the next generation of jazz artists and audiences, and bringing people together with accessible arts programming that educates and inspires. From our signature summer festival on the last Saturday of August to year-round programming, college scholarships, and art initiatives, we're driven by our deep commitment to the cultural and social vitality of Leimert Park and South L.A. and resonating far beyond.
