Silver Spring Jazz Festival in Silver Spring

The Silver Spring Jazz Festival is an annual outdoor jazz festival held at Veterans Plaza in downtown Silver Spring, Maryland, organized by the Silver Spring Urban District. The 2026 edition is scheduled for Saturday, September 12, running from 3 p.m. to 10 p.m.

Silver Spring's transformation into a dense, walkable downtown arts district over the past two decades has been anchored by a handful of civic spaces built explicitly for public gathering, and Veterans Plaza sits at the center of that effort.
