The
is a two-day series of events including an awards dinner, film screenings, family-friendly outdoor activities and a Saturday evening outdoor concert. Spanning across Charlie “Yardbird” Parker’s spotlight birthday weekend, this is an extra special year, as September marks the 25th Anniversary since the grand opening of the American Jazz Museum at 18th and Vine.

For nearly 25 years, the American Jazz Museum has opened its doors to hundreds of thousands of visitors, championing the impact that jazz has on our everyday lives and the enduring possibility to learn more about ourselves and each other through each artifact, program, and performance.
