2016 FIVE POINTS JAZZ FESTIVAL: SATURDAY, MAY 21
In the Spirit of IMAGINE 2020, Denver’s Cultural Plan, Denver Arts & Venues brings the Five Points Jazz Festival to Welton Street for the 13th year running.
The free festival takes place the third Saturday of May and celebrates the history of Denver’s Five Points neighborhood. Once known as the Harlem of the West, Five Points was home to several jazz clubs which played host to many of jazz music’s legends such as Miles Davis, Thelonious Monk and many more. Come out to Five Points to enjoy this free festival of music, food, culture and fun.
Since its inception in 2004, the Five Points Jazz Festival has grown each year in size and popularity. In 2014 we saw attendance increase to nearly 26,000 and 35 bands performed throughout the course of the day. To accommodate for these increased numbers, we added 20 additional vendors, three more stages and expanded four blocks.
The 2015 Five Points Jazz Festival took place on Saturday, May 16. It was one of the most culturally diverse lineups to date providing Denver with an afternoon filled with all types of jazz to experience – latin, blues, funk, trios, youth-focused programming and more.
