The Sacramento Jazz Jubilee is the biggest and baddest Jazz festival in the Western United States. Its 30 concert venues stretch from Sacramento's cosmopolitan Convention Center, with its luxury hotels, to quaint Old Sacramento's boardwalks and cobblestones. About 100 performing groups, in more than a dozen Jazz genres, come to Sacramento each Memorial Day Weekend to entertain our 70,000 visitors - about 900 separate performances over the weekend.

The Sacramento Jazz Jubilee is the production of a small paid staff and about 2800 volunteers. Festival volunteers sell tickets, provide office and technical support, paint signs, manage band selection and contracting, set up sites and make sure there are enough chairs, develop a performance schedule, perform media relations and write the festival program, tend bars, drive band shuttles, perform accounting and myriad other tasks, including, of course, takedown and cleanup. Volunteers are always needed and welcome. http://www.sacjazz.com
