Clearwater Jazz Holiday

The annual Clearwater Jazz Holiday Festival, a highly anticipated yearly event for jazz and music enthusiasts, celebrates 46 years this October 16 - 19th, 2025!

Taking place at beautiful Coachman Park, this festival brings together a diverse range of music, from traditional jazz to modern twists, all under the glorious Florida sky. It is more than just a festival, it is a tradition that has captured the hearts of many people over the years, making it a must-see event on the music calendar.

Event Highlights

New for 2025: Two side stages will feature 14 more performances across the four-day weekend celebration, creating a late afternoon and early evening pre-party before the headliners take the main stage. 

The 2025 Clearwater Jazz Holiday lineup will offer a diverse festival bill with something for everyone, and a different feel each day including smooth, straight ahead, progressive and big band jazz to funk, soul, blues, Americana roots rock, and everything in between!
