Groove for a Cause: Celebrating Latin Jazz and Supporting Future Musicians
Bull City Latin Jazz Fest brings people together through lively concerts and events that support jazz education at Duke University and North Carolina Central University. Rooted in Durham, this nonprofit festival creates a space where music connects cultures, uplifts local pride, and builds lasting community bonds. Join us in keeping the rhythm alive and supporting the next generation of musicians.
Where Music Meets Community
There’s nothing like the feeling of music bringing people together. Around here it’s not just about the stage, it’s about the joy, the culture, and the real connections we create along the way.
Summer Latin Jazz Night
An evening designed for connection, rhythm, and local pride. This outdoor concert brings the community together for live Latin jazz, good food, and great company.
Annual Benefit Concert
A special night of music created to raise support for jazz programs at Duke University and North Carolina Central University. Every ticket helps invest in future musicians.
Latin Jazz Family Day
A daytime gathering that celebrates culture, music, and togetherness. Families and friends of all ages are invited to enjoy performances, activities, and community spirit.
There’s a deeper story behind the music. From a simple idea to an annual celebration, Bull City Latin Jazz Fest was built to bring people together while giving back. Explore how it all started, what drives the mission forward, and how every concert helps support future jazz musicians in our city.
