The 28th annual Michigan JazzFest will take place Thursday, August 4th, Friday, August 5th, and Saturday, August 6th, 2022 in the streets of Old Town, surrounded by the best of the Capital City's art galleries as well as unique retail stores and grand architecture. Its stages will offer outstanding talent, from local favorites to regional and national acts, including many appearing for the first time in Lansing.

SPECIAL SONG PREMIERES
As an added benefit, each artist has agreed to premiere a song, composition or arrangement that they’ve never performed publicly before.
​ENJOY THE SOCIAL DISTRICT
Old Town’s new designation as a Social District means festival goers can buy and consume and walk on the streets with appropriately labeled alcoholic beverages from their favorite bars and restaurants, while seeing all that JazzFest has to offer. Please support Old Town’s excellent establishments during JazzFest.
​VENUES
There will be three venues this year: the Turner Street Stage, the River Stage and the UrbanBeat Afterglow Stage. See the map for details.
CALL FOR VOLUNTEERS
Volunteering is a great way to go behind the scenes, develop new skills, meet new people, help the community and have fun!

​HAVE FUN AND BE SAFE
