Indy Jazz Fest is set to return from September 22-26, featuring a star-studded lineup of local and national talent, including Sheila E., MonoNeon, Karl Denson, and Brandon Meeks as headliners.

Festival Details

The festival, presented by the Indianapolis Jazz Foundation and Citizens Energy Group, will include a week full of music by celebrated local, national, and international musicians.
