The Festival culminates in a unique mix of world-class musicians in a one-of-a-kind format that has lived up to its title, the Labor Day Weekend Party. Whether  group performances, multi-artists jam sessions or the inspiring multimedia salutes to Jazz legends, the Weekend has a unique party spirit that attracts musicians and jazz lovers from all over the world. Each year, up-and-coming "young lions" play alongside the living legends of jazz in an intimate venue, surrounded by the natural beauty of Vail. With over twenty-four hours of performances throughout the weekend (morning, noon and night), the audience and musicians are connected in a manner that consistently inspires great performances!

This internationally acclaimed event features five days and four nights of the world's greatest jazz musicians – enjoy over twenty-four hours of music in two fabulous venues; the Vail Marriott ballroom for evening shows, and the outdoor tented venue at Vail Square for daytime shows! Vail Square is adjacent to the Arrabelle Hotel, just a five minute walk from the Marriott.
