Jazz has been a long-standing tradition in Hampton, with the first-ever Jazz Festival happening in 1968. Now, the Hampton Jazz & Music Festival has grown to 3 days of festivities featuring the best of jazz, pop, blues, soul, and R&B.

Held annually in June, the Hampton Jazz & Music Festival features a performance lineup of both household names and rising artists at the Hampton Coliseum. In between performances, the Hampton Roads Convention Center will host the 757 Extravaganza & Marketplace, the official Jazz Festival retail and after-party experience(s)! 

At the 757 Extravaganza & Market you can shop, dance, and all that jazz. Music and art will collide as an array of local artisans will have booths set-up for people to shop their handmade pieces. The jazzy energy continues with After Parties – in the past we’ve enjoyed live performances and cigars out on the terrace Friday night, daytime DJs and more live music on Saturday, and a gospel, buffet-style brunch on Sunday.

The after parties are generally ticketed events featuring music and dancing, while the 757 Extravaganza & Market may offer free admission to explore a variety of artisans, retail, food, and other vendors. Tickets to all events are sold separately; Check thehrcc.com events calendar in June for more information.
