A Bluegrass-Infused Celebration of Jazz, Blues, and Idaho’s Musical Soul

The 2026 Eagle Jazz & Blues Festival marks a milestone: five years of bringing world-class music, community spirit, and Idaho charm together in the heart of Eagle. This year, we’re proud to unveil our theme:

🎶 “Grassroots & Grooves: A Bluegrass-Infused Jazz & Blues Celebration”

For the first time, the festival blends the rich traditions of jazz, blues, and American bluegrass—three genres connected by deep roots, improvisation, and the storytelling spirit that has shaped generations of American music.

The result?A musical experience found only in Eagle, Idaho — where tradition meets innovation against a backdrop of mountains, rivers, and a community that truly loves the arts.
