Summer of the Arts: Iowa City Jazz Festival

Since 1991, the Iowa City Jazz Festival has transformed into a nationally recognized event with an average annual audience of more than 25,000. Bring a blanket, chair, or sit in the beverage garden to enjoy live Jazz performances, delicious dishes, and a full blown fireworks display over the University of Iowa’s Pentacrest lawn.
