Pittsburgh International Jazz Festival-Days 3&4 at Highmark Stadium, Sept 16-17

The 13th Annual Pittsburgh International Jazz Festival (PIJF) takes place during September 14-17, 2023 and features an exceptional line-up of live jazz featuring a number of Grammy-winning and Grammy-nominated musicians.

Please note that there will be two designated venues to accommodate ticketed performances for the headlining performers that will be traveling to Pittsburgh for the festival.

Day 1 and Day 2 -- August Wilson Center (indoors) in downtown Pittsburgh, although some performances are already sold out.

Day 3 and Day 4 -- Highmark Stadium (outdoors) in Station Square

September 16-17 tickets at Highmark Stadium range from $55-$60 depending on how close you'd like to sit to the stage - although there is a small discount for those that attend both days.

This is one festival you won't want to miss featuring a number of Grammy-winning and Grammy-nominated musicians!

For more information (history, photos, videos, recorded music selections by various jazz bands, jazz links, etc.) about the festival, please visit http://pittsburghjazzfest.org

In addition to the ticketed PIJF performances, we expect that local restaurants may offer live jazz (on their own) featuring local jazz musicians and/or jam sessions during September 14-17.

Meetup Considerations

We expect that at any given time during the festival, there could be anywhere from 0-20+ people from the Meetup enjoying the festivities -- although they'll be dispersed among many hundreds of jazz fans, festival donors, general public, etc.

Please be mindful that some people in the group enjoy the jazz festival without feeling the need to constantly check cell phones -- and are simply happy enough when they run into other people they know as they walk around.

FYI, here is the band schedule where you can see there is only about 15-minute break between when one band ends and the next band begins at Highmark Stadium https://pittsburghjazzfest.org/lineup/

As always, it is also fine if you prefer to attend this festival on your own with family/friends instead.

Stay tuned for updates!
