About the Event
The BAY VIEW JAZZ FEST is a DIY festival that features multiple groups during the night of the spring BAY VIEW GALLERY NIGHT, created by MILWAUKEE JAZZ VISION in partnership with the MILWAUKEE JAZZ INSTITUTE. The festival provides an opportunity for Milwaukee’s finest musicians to be showcased to the community at large. BVJF offers the general public the opportunity to experience the best of today’s new live jazz and creative music for free in a club setting. Bay View provides an ideal festival experience, featuring groups performing all night at multiple venues in close proximity to one another. On this night, the BVJF continues to redeem the rich jazz heritage of Milwaukee, WI.
