Event Date & Time
–
The 45th annual UMM Jazz Fest, founded in the 1980s by Jim "Doc" Carlson, will take place April 10-11, 2026 at the University of Minnesota Morris. The festival is open to instrumental and vocal jazz bands of all ages and is non-competitive. We strive to bring excellent guest artists, have a great time, honor our UMM Music Alumni who are a part of the history of this program, and keep on swingin' into the end of the school year each spring. A Jazz Crawl follows on Saturday with music events around Morris at several venues. We hope you might join us for an awesome weekend of music!!
