Step right up, all you local Boston-area people. The Arlington Jazz Festival, now in its 15th year, is nothing to sneeze at. A very exciting lineup, scheduled from April 8-12, has been recently revealed at https://www.arlingtonjazz.org/2026-festival-schedule.html.

Most of the concerts are free and offering a wide variety of musical styles that will be well worth your while to check out. Visiting artist Stanley Jordan and his Trio will be the capper concert, held at the Regent Theatre in Arlington. A great Festival experience will be had by all. Hurray!
