Music series is back in North Alabama but there’s an important change

Jazz in the Park will officially return to downtown Huntsville in a new location in September.

The annual music series is celebrating its 10th anniversary this year in a different part of Big Spring Park.

The music series began in 2015 in Big Spring Park East. It started with just two artists performing for one night to about 800 people. Ten years later, three jazz artists will take the stage every Sunday evening in September.

Things will look a little different in 2025. Big Spring Park is undergoing an expansion, so the eastern part of the park is under construction. The 2025 festival will be held in Big Spring Park West.

Several performers are longtime veterans of the festival, like BK Jackson and Erisa Nicole and ensembles like Izzy & The JAzz Addicts and Element XI.

The City of Huntsville and Downtown Huntsville, Inc. hosts Jazz in the Park. Leaders say this contributes to the growing, diverse local music scene.
