Soak up the sounds at the Sitka Jazz Festival

The Sitka Jazz Festival has been bringing world-class music to Sitka, Alaska, for nearly a quarter century. This year, from Feb. 7-9, headliners Brianna Thomas, Adam Theis, Kyle Athayde Dance Party, Bijon Watson and more will be bringing their talents to the island community.

Beyond live performances, festival attendees can participate in a variety of music education clinics taught by local musicians and visiting artists. Music appreciation, history, jazz theory, improvisation and individual instrument workshops will be available all weekend long – and don’t miss the big band dance party at Harrigan Centennial Hall and intimate, after-hours shows.
