Kennett JazzFest

The Kennett JazzFest is back and better than ever! Held annually in the vibrant heart of Kennett Square, PA, this electrifying celebration of jazz began in 2022 with a single day of soulful sounds. Since then, it’s grown into a full-blown music experience—expanding to include more incredible artists and venues across town. Each year, we've raised the bar, welcoming world-class headliners like Pat Bianchi, Oz Noy, and Mike LeDonne. 

 

This year, we’re kicking things off in style with a Friday Night Launch Party on April 25! The evening opens with the stunning vocals of Sharon Sable, followed by our Friday headliner, the dazzling guitarist Vahe Sarkissian. It's the perfect way to set the tone for an unforgettable weekend.

Then on Saturday, April 26, the full festival swings into action starting at 11 AM! Join us outdoors under the big tent, where two stages will run non-stop all day long, delivering a dynamic mix of jazz styles and powerhouse performances. The day builds to a thrilling finale with none other than Orrin Evans closing out the night.

The Kennett JazzFest has become a beloved community tradition—an immersive weekend of fantastic music, local flavor, and great vibes. We can’t wait to see you there for another incredible year!
