Showcasing the rich musical history of Jefferson Street and bringing the community together.

The summer of 2016 welcomes the 16th annual Jefferson Street Jazz & Blues Festival celebrating the vitality of the Jefferson Street community through its arts, music and food culture.  This 2-day event, brought to you by the Jefferson Street United Merchants Partnership (JUMP), will kick-off with our annual Bridging the Gap Mixer on the Shelby Street bridge and a day long music, arts and food festival featuring local and national jazz and blues artists and food and retail vendors from the North Nashville community.

With thousands of attendees, each year, the Jefferson Street Jazz & Blues festival builds cultural awareness, attracts diversity and commemorates the historic Jefferson Street Corridor through the sounds of jazz, blues, funk, gospel, soul and R&B.  Not just a music festival, this 2-day event pays homage to the historic treasures and challenges that make the Jefferson Street community a unique and vital part of Nashville.
