Texas Jazz Festival
Corpus Christi, Texas

When: mid to late October

Where: Heritage Park in Corpus Christi, Texas

The clarion call of a trumpet beckons over 50,000 jazz buffs each year to the courtyard at Heritage Park for a three-day tribute to a uniquely American art form. Launched in 1960, the Texas Jazz Festival is recognized as the largest free music event in the world, showcasing a potpourri of 50 performers on three stages, ranging from local acts to internationally-touted tunesmiths. The Colonial Revival facade of the Gavan House, which today houses the Cultural Center, offers a dramatic backdrop to the proceedings as patrons tap their feet to the beat of impromptu jams and shop for souvenirs among the array of arts and crafts booths.
