Hyde Park Jazz Festival
Sept 27-28 / Logan Center
The Hyde Park Jazz Festival is a collaborative platform dedicated to supporting the presentation and ongoing development of jazz, particularly on the South Side of Chicago. We do this by creating opportunities for a broad community of listeners to engage with the music and its creators, and by working with artists, organizational partners, and networks to celebrate the rich tradition of jazz and to support the development of new work and ideas.

The Logan Center for the Arts is a place of possibility to experience, create, and contemplate art, connecting The University of Chicago with artists and communities on the South Side and beyond. As a space for experimentation, learning, collaboration, and discovery, it brings together people of all backgrounds to engage with the arts in meaningful ways. The Logan Center offers free and subsidized arts events and partnerships throughout the year. The work we do is made possible only through the generosity of our patrons, friends, and fans. Please consider donating to the Logan Center today. Gifts of any size have an impact, directly supporting our faculty, students, and surrounding communities.
