The story

Winter Park Jazz Festival in Miami Gardens

The Winter Park Jazz Festival brings a weekend of jazz, R&B, and soul performances to the Rendezvous Event Center in Winter Park, Colorado, each July. Now in its 43rd year, it is presented by the Winter Park and Fraser Chamber and has hosted artists including Patti LaBelle, Boyz II Men, and Sheila E.

Winter Park, Colorado built its reputation as a ski destination, but for one weekend each July, the mountain town shifts its identity entirely toward jazz.

What is special

The part that makes it specific.

01

The place changes

The festival's mountain-town setting, at an elevation well above 9,000 feet, gives it a distinct high-altitude character among American jazz festivals, pairing serious touring talent with the scenery of a Colorado ski resort community in its summer season

02

The mystery stays covered

More than four decades of continuous operation have let it build a lineup history spanning major R&B and jazz names across generations, and its presentation by the local chamber of commerce ties the event directly to Winter Park and Fraser's civic and tourism identity rather than an outside promoter
