Burlington Discover Jazz Festival is a program of The Flynn, produced in association with Burlington City Arts. Through the support of our local community, the festival brings together young artists, local talent, and jazz legends for 100+ free outdoor performances, meet-the-artist sessions, professional and student bands on Church Street Marketplace, and incredible live shows at venues all over town.
The Festival's mission is to broaden awareness and appreciation of jazz through quality live performances of national and regional scope; present educational activities that illuminate the art form for students of all ages and backgrounds; showcase Vermont and regional jazz artists, including students; and create a vital city-wide community festival that contributes to the national jazz dialogue.
