The Eau Claire Jazz Festival's 52nd Street was started in 2013 as the brainchild of Artistic Director Robert Baca. It was the transformation of downtown Eau Claire into a New York jazz scene. Here, you can explore over 50 exceptional music groups at 18 different venues (all-ages and 21+). This year, on April 19th, our groups will be featuring a variety of music styles including ragtime, blues, acoustic, and big band. Join over 3,000 people and enjoy this once a year celebration!
