The 2026 MONTAVILLA JAZZ FESTIVAL
September 4–6, 2026
The 2026 Montavilla Jazz Festival celebrates the depth and diversity of Portland’s jazz community through a three-day, village-style gathering rooted in Montavilla. From September 4–6, the festival will present two dozen concerts across neighborhood venues, featuring original, boundary-pushing work by local artists and inviting audiences to experience jazz as a living, communal art form.
Thank you for your crucial support of our work in 2025.
Last year marked an important moment of growth for Montavilla Jazz, made possible by the artists, partners, donors, and community members who believe in this work. As we look ahead to 2026, we see meaningful opportunities to deepen our impact in Montavilla and extend it beyond the neighborhood.
