Even though the official title of the festival says “Jazz,” Oxnard Jazz Festival really includes all music with a soul.  Spend some time at this festival nestled along Ventura County’s Gold Coast, and your soul will be singing too.  

 

Although the brand is jazz, in reality, the Oxnard Jazz Festival is all about fusion:  Jazz, Latin, Soul, Blues and R&B.  Any music with a soul will have a stage here.  This is a great place to catch emerging local talent, Grammy Award-winning talent and those that are in the twilight of their careers.

​

Southern California’s best-kept secret, Ventura County, is the gateway to the “Gold Coast” and home to some of the most respected jazz musicians in the country.  The city of Oxnard is the country's most vibrant and culturally diverse community.  Known as the “Strawberry Capital,” its historical, recreational, and environmental assets make it listed as one of the wealthiest areas in America.  Oxnard offers fertile ground to cultivate a unique jazz experience and exciting celebration of music.

With a mild and mellow climate, the Oxnard Beach Park with swaying palms trees, and the beach, with beautiful white sand dunes and the Pacific blue waters in the background, at times, feel like you’re in some splendid resort that’s hard to pin down geographically.

Oxnard’s beaches are known for their sunshine, mild surf, and easy access; they are a five-mile stretch of sand that’s a romantic spot for sunset watchers.  

If you love music, you will love the Oxnard Jazz Festival.  Feel the Groove.
