The Fillmore Jazz Festival, the largest free jazz festival on the West Coast, was initially canceled for 2025 due to financial shortfalls. However, local billionaire Chris Larsen and his Avenue Greenlight organization stepped in to fund the event shortly after the cancellation announcement. Organizers have expressed excitement about the festival's revival, supported by local supervisors who have made commitments for its success. Larsen's past contributions to local community initiatives highlight his ongoing involvement in the city’s cultural and political landscape, which is exemplified by his earlier support for the festival in 2024.
I am thrilled to announce that the 2025 Fillmore Jazz Festival is officially back on. The festival had also received commitments of support from local supervisors.
