Summer of Jazz 2026
Through music, downtown Buffalo becomes a dance hall, a Parisian café, a Latin plaza, an Italian concert hall, the streets of New Orleans, and finally, the vibrant sounds of Brazil.
Summer of Jazz transforms Ellicott Street into Buffalo's gathering place for six unforgettable Sundays of music, friendship, and community.
Presented by ArtsBuffalo, JazzBuffalo, Tappo Restaurant, the Electric District Alliance, and community partners, Summer of Jazz invites everyone to experience the joy of live music in the heart of downtown Buffalo.
