Welcome to the Lowcountry Jazz Festival, held every Labor Day weekend in beautiful Charleston, South Carolina, where smooth jazz takes center stage. Our powerhouse lineup blends the grooves of contemporary jazz, R&B, and soul into an unforgettable soundscape. From legendary saxophonists to rising vocalists, this is where musical mastery meets Southern soul. It's refined. It's rhythmic. It's unmistakably Charleston.

Whether you're strolling historic streets, savoring fresh seafood, or swaying to the beat beneath a Carolina sky, the Lowcountry Jazz Festival offers a curated fusion of music, culture, and cuisine you won't find anywhere else.

Presented by the Charleston Gaillard Center in partnership with Closing the Gap in Healthcare, this is South Carolina's signature smooth jazz festival—a rhythmic retreat into the heart of the Lowcountry.

This year's Lowcountry Jazz Festival brings together a powerhouse lineup of legends and trailblazers. From the smooth soul of KEM, to the electrifying sax of Boney James, the fusion brilliance of Pieces of a Dream, the iconic keys of Bob James, and the high-energy groove of Eric Darius—these artists don't just perform, they define the sound of contemporary jazz.
