Across the Bay, the San Jose Jazz Summer Festival is one of the most exciting celebrations of Jazz on the West Coast.

The festival is located around Downtown San Jose and is hosting legendary headliners like Herbie Hancock, the Spanish Harlem Orchestra, and Dominique Fils-Aimé. Learn more and book tickets here.
