Be a Friend of the Festival. Keep Highland’s music free.

For 22 years, the Highland Jazz & Blues Festival has filled our neighborhood with music, food, and community, and it has always been free to the public. Friends of the Festival make that possible. For just $10 a month, you’re not only getting a VIP experience, you’re keeping the music playing for everyone.

Thank you to our Friends of the Festival!
