*We recently learned that this is the 27th installment of the Skyview Jazz Festival. The festival premiered in 1997, the same year as the opening of the high school. We have only missed hosting one year which was due to the pandemic. For a full history of the Skyview Jazz Festival, please check out our program.
T-shirts, hoodies, posters, and tumblers will be for sale at concessions.
