Williamstown Jazz Festival

Brings Three Days of World‑Class Music to the Berkshires

September 11–13, 2026 Williamstown, MA

The Berkshires come alive this September as the Williamstown Jazz Festival brings three days of world‑class music, and storytelling to three iconic local venues. Curated and hosted by NEA Jazz Master Todd Barkan, the festival gathers Grammy winners, rising stars, and regional talent for an unforgettable weekend celebrating the depth and spirit of jazz.

Across September 11–13, audiences can experience powerhouse performances including Arturo Sandoval & Octet, Brandee Younger Trio, Connie Han Trio, Steve Turre’s All‑Star Band, The Cookers, and the Wanda Houston Quartet- alongside film screenings, youth showcases, and a special conversation on the history of jazz in the Berkshires.

With flexible full‑festival, single‑day, and VIP passes, guests can build the weekend that fits their rhythm. Every ticket supports Jazz in the Berkshires, the nonprofit behind this new cultural tradition.

Three days. Three venues. One festival. A new Berkshire tradition begins.
