In case you missed it, the Great Milwaukee Summer is back! Approximately 8,000 festivals, music series, and fairs are set to take over the city this summer. And one of those music series, the long-running and wildly popular Jazz In The Park, just dropped its 2026 lineup.
Like years past, Jazz In The Park will set up shop in downtown’s Cathedral Square Park, 520 E. Wells St., on Thursday nights from 6-9 p.m. Unlike previous years, the series will be expanding its musical offerings beyond the jazz genre and (new this year specifically) will be preceded with a Cathedral Square Market, which will move to Thursdays and run from 3-6 p.m.
Okay, without further ado, here’s the 2026 Jazz In The Park lineup!
