98.9 Smooth Jazz Festival Tickets

The 98.9 Smooth Jazz Festival is a cornerstone for lovers of refined, melodic jazz that blends soulful grooves with high-caliber performances. Originating from KWJZ 98.9 FM's smooth jazz programming and produced by the Lakeside Group and House of Blues Concerts, this festival proved to be a beloved fixture for jazz fans in the Pacific Northwest and beyond.
