Music takes over Sun Valley Village October 15–18 as the Sun Valley Jazz & Music Festival returns for its 37th edition. The Thursday-through-Sunday event gives residents and fall visitors four days to build a visit around live performances. [2] [1]

The organizer lists more than 100 performances across five venues, with a program reaching from swing and blues to gospel and big band. Featured sets include Big Band Bash and a Miles Davis tribute. Online ticket sales have closed. The festival says tickets can be purchased at its will-call/sales box office starting Thursday, October 15 at 10 a.m.; check the official ticket page before your visit. [1] [3] [4]

The OM perspective

Why it matters here.

For a fall weekend here, start with the music you most want to hear and leave room between sets. A focused afternoon or evening can be a useful starting point for your plans; confirm ticket options and performance details directly with the festival before committing.
