Jazzy Sunday in the Park: April 19, 2026

April 19: Joy Bloom with Kinder HSPVA Jazz Ensemble

Every spring, three Houston parks team up to celebrate the Houston musicians who keep the tradition of jazz alive. The immensely popular series, Jazzy Sundays in the Parks, brings free jazz concerts to Discovery Green in March and the Water Works at Buffalo Bayou Park in April.  

Traditionally, the series opens at Emancipation Park, but due to the construction of a state-of-the-art performance stage and other park improvements, the series will be at Discovery Green and Buffalo Bayou Park. The series will return to Emancipation Park next year.  

Guests are encouraged to arrive early and bring a blanket or lawn chairs. Food and drink will be available for purchase. A pop-up market will be on site at each park with locally crafted items, food and wearables. All concerts are free and family friendly. 

KTSU is the official media sponsor. The KTSU DJs and booth will be on site to get the party started with music, dancing and swag. 

This year’s commemorative poster artist is Robert Hodge.
