The 14th Annual John Coltrane International Jazz & Blues Festival returned this year with a two-day celebration that had fans swaying, dancing, and discovering the magic of jazz in all its forms. Nestled at Oak Hollow Festival Park in High Point, NC, the festival’s scenic lakeside setting set the perfect backdrop for a weekend where music wasn’t just heard, it was felt.

The festival featured an incredible lineup of performers, including Snarky Puppy, Stanley Clarke, Rick Braun, Richard Elliot, Peter White, Ruthie Foster, The Baylor Project, Meshell Ndegeocello, Lizz Wright, Take 6, The Headhunters, Clint Holmes, José James, Nnenna Freelon, West End Mambo, and John Brown leading the NC Coltrane All-Star Band.
We were fortunate to witness many of the headliners, and, like every year, our favorite part is being immersed in the crowd and vibing with the festival-goers as they groove to the sounds of jazz, blues, and other genres. Check out our photo gallery of the event below.
