Jazz in June in Norman
Jazz in June is a free, three-day jazz festival held each June at Andrews Park in Norman, Oklahoma, produced by a local nonprofit with support from the Norman Arts Council and other regional funders. The festival pairs evening concerts from touring and regional jazz artists with daytime educational workshops hosted through the Norman public library system, positioning the city as a seasonal hub for jazz in Oklahoma.
Jazz in June grew out of a straightforward civic idea: that Norman, Oklahoma, a college town with a strong University of Oklahoma music program, deserved a dedicated public showcase for jazz, offered free and open to the whole community rather than confined to ticketed clubs or campus recitals.
