About the event
International Jazz Day Celebration, FREE live music, community and more!
Come celebrate International Jazz Day with us on April 30, 2026, from 6:30 to 9:00 PMat Union Church in Boston!
This free, family-friendly event will feature performances by Grammy-nominated saxophonist Godwin Louis and Puerto Rican saxophonist Jonathan Suazo. We’ll also celebrate Boston’s jazz legacy with presentations at Jazz Square, located at Mass. Ave. and Columbus Ave.
Admission is free! For those who are able, we kindly suggest a $20 donation to support the artists, keep the music going, and help sustain future Jazz Square events. Every contribution makes a difference!
This vibrant celebration is part of the Jazz Square Coalition’s ongoing work to honor Boston’s cultural history through music, art, and community programming, with support from the Mayor’s Office of Arts and Culture and in partnership with the Claremont Neighborhood Association and The Reckonings Project.
