The award-winning Old Webster Jazz & Blues Festival was organized 17 years ago by a small group of passionate music lovers who wanted to have a great party in their downtown district. Since that time, it has grown to well over 12,000 annual attendees and features the best in original music, delicious food and beverage, and some of the area’s most unique shopping. Its family-friendly atmosphere gets ages 1 to 100 on their feet and shaking their groove thang together in the streets.

One of the most family-friendly jazz festivals on the planet, the Old Webster Jazz & Blues Festival promises non-stop jazz and blues from two stages. This event showcases St. Louis’ most talented performers plus food and drink from area restaurants. Street entertainers also amuse spectators with face-painting, juggling and balloons.
