Walter Reed Jazz Festival 2026

We look forward to hosting you at the 6th Annual Walter Reed Jazz Festival. Our mission is to provide an experience where all big bands and combos will have the opportunity to play on stage, receive a clinic, and be inspired by a professional level performance. This year will be a ratings festival. The special guest performance this year will be the Dan Taguchi Thursday Night Band. At the end of the event we will have an awards ceremony where groups are honored with plaques, certificates, and ratings.
