The Johnson City Jazz Festival 2025 is officially in the books — and what a year it was!

Six days of incredible jazz culminated in a show-stopping performance by Spyro Gyra. The talent and artistry on display throughout the week reminded us why jazz remains one of America’s greatest cultural treasures.

We extend our heartfelt thanks to every musician who took the stage this year. Time and again, we hear how much they enjoy performing at our festival — the warm support from audiences, the welcoming venues, and the energy of the Johnson City community. The word is out our Festival is a great place to perform.

Our sincere thanks also go to the venues that hosted events and helped make the festival possible: Capone’s, The Johnson City Country Club, The Jackson Theater, and The Martin Center. Your partnership was key to this year’s success.

Most importantly, thank you to you — our festival attendees. Your enthusiasm and support made this celebration of jazz unforgettable. We are especially grateful for your generosity toward the Jazz Foundation of America. Because of your contributions, we were able to donate over $2,500 to assist jazz musicians in our region affected by Hurricane Hellene.

Looking ahead, early indications are that the 2026 Johnson City Jazz Festival will take place in mid April. Keep an eye out for future announcements regarding the festival as well as other Jazz events taking place throughout our area.

And once again, thank you for helping keep jazz alive and thriving in our community!
