2026 Free Jazz Concerts - La Crosse

The La Crosse Jazz Orchestra, western Wisconsin's premier big band, was formed in 1974 to perform "Jazz On A Sunday Afternoon" for the Great River Festival of the Arts Summer Concert Series. The band continues that tradition while expanding its role performing for street dances, festivals and other concerts throughout the greater La Crosse region.

Now in its 51st season, the LJO's Jazz in the Park series provide free big band concerts throughout the summer in Riverside Park. In addition, the band has performed for arts series in several communities in Wisconsin and Minnesota as well as numerous conventions. The LJO has also appeared at festivals throughout the area, such as La Crosse's own Moon Tunes and the Caledonia Street Block Party. Please check website for locations, details and times.
