If you enjoy a wide variety of musical experiences (solo piano, dynamic 2 to 9 member musical groups from all over the US plus a hilarious banjo & washtub & musical show) then you need to schedule the Sun Valley Jazz Jamboree for the third week of October in Sun Valley, Idaho. You can listen to outstanding professionals (30 groups plus) from your comfortable seat while gazing out massive windows at a ski mountain of fall colors or snow--a yearly surprise! Free shuttle buses deliver you between lodge locations plus stroll the pond-flower-small boutique walkways between the SV Inn and SV Lodge. Don't forget to get your popcorn at the Opera House before sitting for Old Time movies on Tuesday and musical groups Wed-Sunday. ..... We have volunteered for 5 years and meet SO many wonderful people from all provinces of Canada and every state in the USA. It is a week to tap your feet, burn up the dance floors and grin from ear to ear. DON'T MISS THIS EXPERIENCE. Sonnie

I stumbled into this wonderful event 9 years ago. 8 years ago I became an annual volunteer. About 6 years ago I became a full-time properties manager of this event. I am still a volunteer and spend most of my life each year dedicated to assisting in making sure EVERYONE knows of this event. The variety of jazz form as well as the great bands in one of the most beautiful natural settings (Sun Valley) make this Jazz Festival the best in the country! You must come to see the Jazz Festival that is ours and not theirs. This, folks, is a guarantee of the best time you will ever have in this life time.

My hubby and I have volunteered at this event twice after attending 3 times. It is a wonderful organization dedicated to preserving an original American artform. The folks in charge are the daughter, son-in-law and widow of the founder and have done everything right to keep this wonderful festival going.
