Houston International Jazz Festival: Enjoy Music From All Over the World

The Houston International Jazz Festival returns to the city this year on Friday, August 4th and Saturday, August 5th. Like the fest does every year, it's anticipated to attract thousands of jazz lovers to downtown. They're coming to listen to the tunes of globally renowned artists as well as some from closer to home.

The focal point of the weekend is the Showdown Throwdown, a battle of the brass bands performed live. This year, it's Texas versus Louisiana. To Be Continued Brass Band will face off against the Bayou City Brass Band at The Warehouse on Saturday at 7 p.m. The live music will be judged, and a winner will be crowned before the end of the night. Tickets to the festival start at $30.

The Houston International Jazz Festival Returns For Its 25th Year With Live Music And Special Events This Weekend!

Jazz fans, listen up! The 25th Annual Houston International Jazz Festival is back for a three-day live music extravaganza from July 31 through Aug. 2.

The festival celebrates jazz with live music and good vibes all weekend long. Jazz takes the spotlight, but a number of other musical genres that call on jazz for inspiration will also be featured during the three-day celebration. You can look forward to blues, soul, hip hop, and folk performances, too. Festival guests are encouraged to bring picnic blankets and folding chairs. Vendors selling food and drink will also be on hand.

Beyond the live music at the festival grounds, there are four main events of the festival — the kickoff party on Friday night, a pre-concert dinner on Saturday, the main concert at the Bayou Music Center on Saturday night, and the mayor’s scholarship jazz brunch on Sunday.

Tickets are required for entry to the festival and are available online. Tickets vary in price depending on the event you choose to go to.

The fun will places only two miles from Siena at Memorial Heights.
