Yrēfy Scottsdale Jazz Festival
Produced by Jazz Day AZ & Yrēfy
More than a festival — a funding engine for music education
The Yrēfy Scottsdale Jazz Festival celebrates jazz with a “New Orleans meets the desert” spirit. Ticket sales, sponsorships and partnerships are reinvested in music teachers and student programs — especially in communities affected by school closures and budget cuts.
2027
