Jazz Square celebrates the rich history of jazz in Boston, bringing new life to the area between Mass Ave and Columbus Ave, which was once a vibrant hub for music, art, and culture. Jazz Square, now officially recognized as a historical hub for jazz in Boston, was once home to iconic clubs such as the Savoy Cafe, Hi-Hat Club, Eddie’s Cafe, and Wally’s Cafe Jazz Club, the latter being the only one still operating today. The Jazz Square celebration will feature community events, walking tours, concerts, and visual art installations to honor this history and its lasting impact. Supported by the Mayor's Office of Arts and Culture, Jazz Square is a collaboration between the Claremont Neighborhood Association, Boston Jazz Foundation, The Reckonings Project, Wally’s Jazz Cafe, and Jazz Boston. The Jazz Square celebration is not only a tribute to the neighborhood's storied past but also a commitment to its future as a center for arts, culture, and community.


All events are FREE admission, and open to the public!
