TIME TO CRAWL AGAIN! The Eau Claire Jazz Festival is holding a second Jazz Crawl date, this time on July 15.

The Eau Claire Jazz Festival is a favorite for local music lovers, with its annual Jazz Crawl being a groovy late-night event filled with tons of musical performances all throughout downtown Eau Claire in the spring – this year’s taking place on April 21. The event was such a success that organizers decided to hold a new jazz crawl just months later, coming up on Saturday, July 15.

From 5pm-1:45am, Summer Jazz Crawl participants can enjoy a full night of jazz and fun starting in Phoenix Park with main stage performances and food trucks before moving across the river to several downtown venues including Olson's Ice Cream, The Reboot Social, Revival Records, The Local Store, and others, all bustling with live music.

Presented by Royal Credit Union, the Jazz Crawl transforms downtown Eau Claire into a New York-style jazz scene. Patrons enjoy over 40 mystifying music groups at 18 different venues (all ages and 21+). The Summer Jazz Crawl will feature more than 25 groups across 13 venues.
