The Notre Dame Collegiate Jazz Festival is the oldest and most prestigious jazz festival in the nation with a rich history of great collegiate bands, and a long line of incredible judges. The event brings in college bands from all over the country to perform in a noncompetitive setting. A group of world-class, professional jazz musicians judge the college bands and top off the evening with a famous “Judges’ Jam” performance. It is our honor to host so many worthy bands and judges once again this upcoming spring. Join us in celebrating a festival of America's original art form in this truly unique campus event. Learn more.
