Jacksonville, Florida
The First Coast Smooth Jazz Festival closed out August 14–15 on the Jacksonville riverfront — two days of world-class artists, the yacht dinner cruise, and a room full of people who love this music.
Thank you to every artist, sponsor, volunteer, and guest who showed up and made the weekend what it was. The stage is quiet for now, but not for long.
What happens next
We are working on dates, venue, and lineup right now. Nothing is confirmed yet, and we won't announce anything until it is.
Locking in the weekend, the riverfront venues, and the artists we want back on that stage.
The moment the weekend is confirmed, it goes out by email and on social — in that order.
Lineup, itinerary, hotel rates, VIP packages, and ticket sales all go live together. That's when you can book.

Leave your email and we'll send you next year's dates the day they're set — before tickets open to everyone else.
Festival updates only — dates, lineup, and ticket releases. A handful of emails a year, and you can unsubscribe from any of them.

Artist news, moments from the 2026 weekend, and the date announcement itself — it all runs through social first.
