The annual Jazz in July festival is a well-established tradition in Des Moines. But the Iowa City Jazz Festival has quite a following, too.
This year’s big weekend is July 5-7, with a slate of local and regional acts ready to hit several stages in downtown Iowa City. The lineup features Fareed Haque and His Funk Brothers, Ingrid Jensen and the Iowa Women’s Jazz Orchestra, the Blake Shaw Quartet and a dozen more – plus fireworks at the Old Capitol on Friday, July 5.
You can grab a bite to eat at an outdoor booth called “Culinary Delights and Beverage Garden” or start Sunday in style with a jazz brunch at the Vue Rooftop. Find all the details online.
