The Denver-Boulder area has long been an excellent destination for the arts. And in 2025, a new, large-scale jazz festival, hopefully to become a local tradition, will take place. The Denver Jazz Fest will run April 3-6 next year, organizers announced on Oct. 31. “Denver has such a rich history in terms of jazz artists who have lived here, performed here and grew up here,” says Don Lucoff, veteran publicist, jazz lover and president/co-founder of Denver Jazz, the Colorado 501(c)(3) nonprofit behind the festival.
