Fond du Lac Jazz Fest (ft. Daddio)

2025 Jazz Fest is coming to Thelma!

Join us for an unforgettable evening of smooth jazz at the Fond du Lac Jazz Fest at THELMA! This exciting event will showcase the incredible talents of local students and seasoned professionals alike.

The evening will begin with performances from the Theisen Middle School Jazz Band and the Fond du Lac High School Jazz Band, featuring the next generation of jazz musicians. Following them, the Lighthouse Big Band will fill the air with their signature sounds of big band jazz.

Finally, get ready to groove as our headliner, Daddio, takes the stage, delivering a high-energy, unforgettable performance. Whether you're a jazz aficionado or a first-time listener, this event promises to be a night of exceptional music and vibrant community spirit.
