A Longstanding Tradition Continues

The Jazz Big Band Dance is an enduring tradition in Idaho Falls, celebrated for over two decades, albeit with a brief pause due to the pandemic. The return of this festive event not only marks a resurgence of cultural gatherings but also signifies the community's ongoing support for the arts.

Supporting the Next Generation of Jazz Musicians

Tickets for the event are being sold for $10, with the convenience of Venmo payments, and all proceeds are dedicated to a noble cause. The funds raised during the dance will directly benefit Skyline High School's Jazz Band, aiding in program improvements and nurturing the talents of its young musicians.
