Since 1983, the Santa Cruz Jazz Festival has been encouraging the understanding and enjoyment of jazz annually. Head to the Crocker Theater to enjoy local Big Bands and combos. Or head to the Samper Recital Hall to enjoy Jazz Choirs! One button will give you access to both days of the festival, and it only costs $10. Buttons must be purchased in person at the event. Follow the signs to the Samper Hall box office.

There is an added $10 fee to see Natalie Cressman at 7pm on the 15th, but she is well worth it! She is a rising singer/songwriter and trombonist who will be pulling from her latest albums featuring original compositions in three different languages: Portuguese, English and French.

Special Evening Concerts:

• Friday at 7pm will be the performance from Natalie Cressman which requires an additional ticket purchase.
• Saturday at 6:30pm will be the best groups from daytime events in an encore performance.
