Steve Heckler founded the Twin Cities Jazz Fest in 1999 with the dream of sharing the music he loves with others. The festival was first held in Minneapolis’s Peavey Plaza and was known as the Hot Summer Jazz Festival. The inaugural headliners were Brother Jack McDuff, Bernard Purdie, and Howard Levy. Since then, the festival has grown to become one of the largest free jazz festivals in the Midwest, attracting thousands of visitors each year. With a diverse lineup of local and national musicians, the Twin Cities Jazz Fest continues to honor Heckler’s vision of bringing people together through music.

The celebration now takes place in St. Paul’s downtown neighborhood, Lowertown, and has grown and expanded over the years. In addition to main stage performances, the festival also includes educational workshops, jam sessions, and opportunities for emerging artists to showcase their talents. Despite its growth, the Twin Cities Jazz Fest remains committed to its mission of promoting jazz music and fostering community engagement. Drawing in numerous jazz musicians and tourists from around the world.

In 2023, Twin Cities Jazz Fest will celebrate its 25th year. It has been incredible to observe the festival expand and develop. I’ve had the pleasure of speaking with Mr. Heckler a few times throughout the years, and he loves music and now lives it by traveling the world, finding musicians to book for the next Jazz Fest, and sharing his event with anyone who asks about it. Looking at the big picture or long game here, Steve has created an organization that has also been able to secure sponsorships and partnerships with local businesses, ensuring the festival’s financial stability, growth, and love of jazz.
