Wilson Jazz Fest 2026
Now in its fourth year, the Wilson Jazz Festival continues its tradition of bringing sensational programming to the increasingly vibrant streets of Historic Downtown Wilson. At its heart, the festival is about community and accessibility - thanks to our generous sponsors, we're proud to offer a full day of free events and keep main stage ticket prices refreshingly affordable. The beloved Second Line March returns, inviting anyone with an instrument to join as we take to the streets following the final main stage performance at the Vollis Simpson Whirligig Park. The Jazz Jam Tent, where festival goers can connect and play alongside featured performers, was a big hit last year so we're bringing it back too.
TICKET INFO
Alongside our free programming at local venues, the festival features headlining acts at our ticketed main stage at the Vollis Simpson Whirligig Park. Sign up for our email list to be the first to know when they go on sale.
