Farmington Jazz Fest at Orchard Park Plaza

Farmington Jazz Fest is scheduled for Saturday, June 6, at Orchard Park Plaza in downtown Farmington, with organizers advertising free jazz performances for all ages beginning at 3 p.m. City and community listings describe the event as an outdoor afternoon of live music in the Historic Downtown Farmington Arts and Cultural District. If rain forces a venue change, the performances will move to the Historic Totah Theater, according to multiple event notices. The festival appears on Farmington’s downtown events calendar, the Tri-City Record community calendar and other local listings. ### When and where does the festival start? Saturday, June 6, is the listed date for Farmington Jazz Fest 2026, and the start time is 3 p.m. at Orchard Park Plaza in downtown Farmington. The Tri-City Record community calendar lists the event as “Farmington Jazz Fest 2026, 3 p.m., Orchard Park Plaza, downtown,” and describes it as free for all ages. Farmington’s official downtown events page also lists a “Jazz Festival in Orchard Park” on June 6. A separate event page from Farmington’s tourism site places the festival at Orchard Park in the Historic Downtown Farmington Arts and Cultural District and tells attendees to bring a chair or blanket for the outdoor concert. ### Who is scheduled to perform? Native Jazz Trio featuring Delbert Anderson is among the acts named in current event listings for the 2026 festival. (tricityrecordnm.com) KSJE’s event calendar says the free event will feature local and guest artists, “including Native Jazz Trio, featuring Delbert Anderson.” The Farmington tourism listing names additional groups: Three Views of a Secret, SJC Jazz Band, San Juan Jazz Society, Third Hour Jazz Band and Farmington High School’s “All That Jazz” band. (farmingtonnm.gov) Other community listings use slightly different naming conventions, including San Juan Jazz Society Combo and San Juan College Band featuring Margaret Clair, but they point to the same lineup of local school, community and guest jazz performers. (ksje.com) ### Is it free, and who is it for? The event is advertised as free and open to all ages across the listings that are publicly available. The Tri-City Record calendar calls it “Free for all ages,” and KSJE uses the same description. Orchard Park has become a regular downtown site for public music events in Farmington, including earlier jazz programs and summer market gatherings. (farmingtonnm.org) Farmington’s tourism page says the festival will include art and food vendors in addition to the music. ### What happens if the weather turns? The Historic Totah Theater is the listed backup location if weather interrupts the outdoor program. (tricityrecordnm.com) Farmington’s tourism page says the event “will be moved to the Totah Theater if it rains,” and KSJE’s calendar repeats that notice. That contingency matters because the event is planned as an outdoor gathering in Orchard Park Plaza. The public listings do not indicate any ticket requirement for the rain location, only that the program would relocate indoors. (farmingtonnm.org) ### Where can attendees find details before going? The Tri-City Record community calendar provides the basic public listing and includes a phone number, (505) 566-3430, along with a San Juan College ticketing page for details. (farmingtonnm.org) KSJE and Farmington’s tourism site also carry event notices with lineup and location information. June 6 is the next listed date for the festival, and Farmington’s downtown events calendar places it among the city’s early-summer schedule. (farmingtonnm.org) Attendees planning to go can check day-of updates through the city, local media listings or the Totah Theater rain notice before the 3 p.m. start.
