Save the date for Arlington, Virginia’s most popular free outdoor music festival! Join the Rosslyn Business Improvement District and Arlington Arts at the 33rd Rosslyn Jazz Fest for an afternoon of music, community, food trucks, yard games, and more.

Headlining this year’s festival is Grammy-nominated Southern Avenue, the high-voltage, Memphis-based group known for their electrifying blend of blues, soul, and gospel. The band brings its powerhouse vocals and genre-defying energy to the stage following its latest album, Family, on Alligator Records.

Joining Southern Avenue is a standout slate of performers, including:

New Breed Brass Band – a modern, high-energy New Orleans-style brass band infused with R&B, jazz, funk, and hip-hop.
The Sensational Barnes Brothers – Soulful siblings who blend old and new sounds rooted in gospel soul.
Son Cubano Subterraneo – a DC-based group delivering vibrant Latin rhythms.

Back by popular demand, Tommy McFly, beloved local media personality, will return as emcee, bringing his signature charm and energy to guide festivalgoers through a day of world-class performances.
