Special Thanks to Creative Collective for the fantastic images!
Since its inception, the Salem Jazz and Soul Festival has been a spotlight for both local talent and acclaimed national touring acts, creating a unique blend of familiar and fresh music. This dynamic mix has been an integral part of the festival’s appeal, fostering an atmosphere where established professionals and budding musicians share the stage, inspiring each other and the audiences they entertain.
We’re thrilled to announce the triumphant return of the Salem Jazz and Soul Festival to the picturesque Salem Willows on August 19th, 2023, from 11 AM to 7 PM!
After a few years of uncertainty due to the global pandemic, we’re ready to bring back the rhythm to the Salem Willows, and invite you to celebrate the enduring spirit of our community, the rich history of jazz, soul, and the love for live music.
