The Half Moon Bay Wine & Jazz Festival features some of California’s finest wineries. We believe some of the best wine in the world comes from California, and we hope you’ll come sample them for yourself. When you arrive, you’ll get a commemorative stemless wine glass and an event wristband – then you’ll be free to explore the many winemakers that will line Half Moon Bay’s historic Main Street.

Each year, the Half Moon Bay Wine & Jazz Festival brings world-class jazz to the heart of downtown — and past performances have set an unforgettable standard.
We’re thrilled to once again have Marcus Shelby assembling this year’s Main Stage lineup, drawing from some of the finest talent in jazz today. The full announcement is coming soon, but if history is any guide, this will be a day you won’t want to miss. Tickets are on sale now — and the music reveal is just around the corner.
With all of that wine tasting and music, you’re going to get hungry, so we’ve assembled a food court where you can purchase food from some of our favorite local eateries. It’s a wine and jazz festival, but if wine isn’t your thing, or you’re just craving a cold one to wash down that delicious food from the food court, beer and cider will be available for purchase from a some great local breweries and cideries!
