While we love introducing the capital city to famous jazz artists, we celebrate the phenomenal talent who call South Carolina home.

Brought to you by the 2021 Governor Award-winning ColaJazz Foundation, the annual Main Street Jazz Fest is a marquee event for our capital city!

Winner of the Best of Free Times’ Best Music Event (2021, runner-up in 2022), the ColaJazz Fest celebrates local and national jazz stars!
