Ellensburg Music Festival, formerly Jazz in the Valley, is a nonprofit music festival in downtown Ellensburg, Washington. The 25th year of our festival is July 28 and 29, 2023. Explore downtown Ellensburg while listening to live music in venues such as galleries, bars, restaurants, and two outdoor stages!

Our 2023 lineup is full of varied music genres such as funk, blues, latin, jazz, soul, swing, and more! This year, we will feature 9 downtown music venues ranging from wine bars to restaurants to art galleries and more. We are excited to bring musicians from all across the Pacific Northwest to play including 4 blues bands, 7 jazz bands including a venue devoted solely to traditional swing dancing, 1 latin band, 4 country bands, 2 cover bands with all kinds of music, and more! Some of these bands have never played in Ellensburg before, so you’re in for a treat.
