About the Festival

Energizing Northwest Philadelphia, the West Oak Lane Jazz and Arts Festival production team has done it again! Join us for the 7th annual three-day non-stop extravaganza. Experience Live Jazz blowing the roof off of 2 stages; go shop-wild at the Craft Marketplace with exclusively Hand Crafted, Custom Designed Original Artworks, and indulge in the delectable delights on 72nd Avenue where they will be cooking up a storm!

As the music resonates up and down Ogontz Avenue, visit the Congo Square Art Pavilion, produced by the African American Museum of Philadelphia, reminiscent of Historic New Orleans & Philadelphia. The spacious tented exhibit will be alive with workshops & engaging interactive activities for the whole family to participate in & enjoy.

The All Jazz line-up features some of the biggest names of the Jazz world, including notorious New Orleans artists bringing their Mardi Gras twist to West Oak Lane! Get your beads & doubloons and jump into the Second Line Parade as we light up Ogontz Avenue!

The Craft Marketplace exhibitors have been hand selected to deliver the finest mix of jewelry, clothing, photography, paintings and so much.

The International Food Court will be impossible to resist when your nose-buds get a smell of what’s sizzling on the Avenue!
