Three stages. One unforgettable weekend of music.
EXPLORE THE VENUES
Discover the spaces where the music comes to life during the Springfield Jazz & Blues Fest. From open-air performances to historic indoor stages, each venue offers its own unique experience, whether you’re relaxing in the park, enjoying a cold drink with live music, or catching a late-night jam session.

Mother Stewart's Brewing

Enjoy live music in one of the festival’s most laid-back and lively settings. Mother Stewart’s Brewing pairs great jazz and a lot of blues with locally crafted beer, creating the perfect spot to relax with friends and soak in the sound.
If weather moves in, performances will continue indoors, so the music never stops.

National Road Commons Park

At the heart of the park is the Johnny Lytle Stage, named in 2024 in honor of the Springfield native and jazz great. Surrounded by open space and fresh air, this venue brings the community together for unforgettable performances throughout the weekend.
Bring a chair, settle in, and experience the energy of live music under the open sky.



The State Theater

The State Theater offers a comfortable indoor option during the festival. It provides a live stream of the park stage, which is perfect if you prefer to enjoy the music in air conditioning. The State Theater also serves as the rain location for performances scheduled at National Road Commons Park.
After the main performances, the State Theater becomes the home of the festival’s late-night jam sessions, where the music continues in a more intimate setting.
