2026 Fresh Coast Jazz Festival

Bring the family to celebrate three days of live jazz at one of Milwaukee's most iconic venues. This festival features an impressive roster of contemporary jazz artists, including Grammy-nominated performers and rising stars in the smooth jazz scene. Beyond the main stage performances, you'll find special experiences like a wine-tasting concert event and a Fresh Coast Cruise. Whether you're a longtime jazz enthusiast or just looking for quality live music, there's something to enjoy across the weekend lineup. What makes this festival special is its heart—ticket sales directly support music education scholarships, school music programs, and healthcare initiatives in the community. It's a chance to experience world-class performances while contributing to causes that matter locally. Tickets are available through freshcoastjazz.com, the Pabst Theater Group website, or by phone at 414-242-8200. Plan ahead, as popular shows tend to sell out quickly.
