The Jazz Society of Oregon proudly presents the 2016 Cathedral Park Jazz Festival. The longest running FREE Jazz festival west of the Mississippi River, CPJF celebrates its 36^th year with three days of world class music, beginning Friday night with dynamic Blues, R&B and Soul and continuing Saturday and Sunday with multiple styles of Jazz in all its glory.

The stage is situated in a natural amphitheater with a backdrop of the beautiful Willamette River to the west and the mighty St. John’s Bridge overhead. The lush green, beautifully maintained festival grounds are the perfect place to bring a picnic or to purchase delicious offerings available from our food vendors. You are welcome to spread a blanket or set up low profile beach chairs in the grassy bowl in front of the stage. City regulations prohibit alcohol in the park, however, alcohol may be enjoyed adults 21 and over in our shady beer garden with full view of the stage.
