Jazz & Oysters Presented by the Water Music Society Saturday, August 8, 2026 11:00 am - 7:00 pm
For 40 years Jazz & Oysters has brought great jazz and other music to the peninsula in the summer. Originally created to help fund Water Music Festival, we now focus on helping to fund our school music and art programs. Join us this year to hear the Ilwaco High School Jazz band and 3 great groups selected to provide awesome music for your enjoyment. The event will be held at the Port of Peninsula where there is a view of Willapa Bay and the working port–a beautiful way to spend the day.
