Oregon Coast Jazz Party

For more than two decades, Oregon Coast Jazz Party has celebrated great live jazz—and the dedicated fans who love it—on the beautiful shores of Nye Beach, at the Newport Performing Arts Center. Enjoy a lively, marvelously music-focused weekend of live jazz in an idyllic coastal location filled with charm, shopping, local brews, and fresh seafood.

What makes the Oregon Coast Jazz Party special, first and foremost, is the excellent talent assembled by music director Ken Peplowski. Add to that a superb location in the “Dungeness Crab Capital of the World” and an incredible, state-of-the-art venue boasting a Meyer Constellation sound system. The result is a Jazz festival like no other – pairing extreme professional talent and tech with a friendly, casual environment where the focus is on the music. It all adds up to a party you won’t want to miss.
