The South’s Most Sophisticated Weekend. Jazz + Roots + Soul.
If you’re looking for the next major jazz destination in the South, you need to be in Columbia this May 15-16. ColaJazz has spent nearly a decade bringing icons like Wynton Marsalis and Kenny Garrett to our stage, and this year’s Jazz + Roots expansion is our most ambitious yet. We’re pairing heavyweights like Endea Owens & the Cookout, Lucia, and Martin Bejerano: Reimagining Prince with a 'Roots' movement that explores how jazz fuels blues, soul, and even Celtic folk. It’s an elite musical curation in a stunning outdoor setting—world-class artistry without the world-class ticket price.
FREE + open weekend cultural takeover in Columbia’s revitalized downtown park.
