Now in its fourth year, the Wilson Jazz Festival continues its tradition of bringing sensational programming to the increasingly vibrant streets of Downtown Wilson. At its heart, the festival is about community and accessibility. Thanks to our generous sponsors, we're proud to offer a full day of free events and keep main stage ticket prices refreshingly affordable. The beloved Second Line March returns, inviting everyone to join as we take to the streets following the final main stage performance at Vollis Simpson Whirligig Park (instruments, umbrellas, maracas, tambourines, beads, and parade props encouraged!). And by popular demand, the Jazz Jam Tent is back - your chance to connect and play alongside featured performers in this festival favorite.
