Five Points bursts with musical life on First Fridays on the Welton Street Corridor. Just south of the Blair-Caldwell Library at Sonny Lawson Park, the Max Moore Quintet will take stage 5:30-7pm with swingin’ tunes! There will be a 30-minute beginner Lindy Hop lesson taught by Vi Bright and Kenny Nelson just prior to the band playing. The full schedule should be published here.

Event Description:

Step into the rhythm and rich history of Denver’s Five Points neighborhood this First Friday—October 3, 2025—for the Jazz Hop, a lively, multi-venue jazz celebration that honors the past and pulses with new creative energy.

From early evening through the night, local and regional jazz artists will fill beloved venues along Welton Street with soulful tunes, swinging beats, and improvisational flair. Each location offers its own vibe, whether it's intimate and cozy or vibrant and spirited, providing an immersive journey through jazz culture in one of Denver’s most storied districts.

This event embodies Denver Arts & Venues’ commitment to connecting community, creativity, and culture—and through the Five Points Jazz Activation program, continues to steward jazz-forward initiatives that reflect our city's decades-old jazz heritage.

Bring friends, family, or just your love of music—and hop from one venue to the next for free, unforgettable jazz performances under the Denver sky.
