Montavilla Jazz Festival Tickets

Montavilla Jazz Festival is a community-driven jazz celebration rooted in Portland's Montavilla neighborhood. Founded around 2014 by two jazz musicians, a graphic designer, and a community activist, this festival has grown into a city-wide highlight that combines intimate performances with diverse venues. Executive Director Neil Mattson leads a network of 80+ sponsors and 70+ volunteers, delivering a multi-day, multi-venue experience each year.

In 2025, the 12th Annual Montavilla Jazz Festival runs August 29–31, featuring roughly 26 concerts across five venues in the Montavilla/Eastside area. The festival emphasizes accessibility and community, with a three-tier ticketing system designed to fit different preferences and budgets.
