Admission is FREE, and everyone is welcome. Dr. José Rizal Park is more than a Seattle landmark—it is the only park and bridge in the United States named in honor of Dr. José Rizal, the national hero of the Philippines. In the 1970s and 1980s, a dedicated group of Filipino American community leaders and volunteers worked tirelessly to make this vision a reality, creating a lasting symbol of cultural pride, education, friendship, and unity. Today, while Dr. José Rizal Park remains a beautiful place overlooking the Seattle skyline, it has suffered years of wear and, more recently, the theft of its historic plaques (which have been replaced by the City) and time capsule. The park now needs our community’s help to restore, preserve, and protect this nationally significant landmark for future generations. This year’s Rizal Park Jazz Festival honors the vision of Vic Bacho and Trinidad Rojo, along with the many Filipino American pioneers and community advocates whose dedication helped establish this nationally unique park and bridge. We also would like to includes a special moment of remembrance with special tribute to two Filipino-Americans that were killed during the Negros 19 Masacre in April 2026 ?️ Kai Dana-Renee Sorem, a beloved daughter of Seattle, whose life and commitment to justice touched so many. ?️ Lyle Prijoles, whose memory continues to inspire all who seek peace, justice, and human dignity. As we gather through the universal language of music, we remember those whose lives remind us that compassion, courage, and unity can overcome division. May their legacy continue to inspire us to build stronger communities and work toward a more just and peaceful world. Admission is FREE, but your support and donation is greatly appreciated. We are partnering with the City of Seattle. Your donations will help us continue restoring and improving Dr. Jose Rizal Park, including: ✨ Security lighting ✨ Restoring the historic time capsule ✨ Future community programs and cultural events Every donation—large or small—helps preserve this historic landmark for future generations. ❤️ Can’t attend?

We look forward to seeing you on August 16 for a day of music, remembrance, community, and celebration. #RizalParkJazzFestival #SeattleJazz #DrJoseRizalPark #SeattleEvents #RememberingNegros19 #KaiDanaReneeSorem #LylePrijoles #JazzForJustice #Community #FilipinoAmerican #SupportLocal #HistoricSeattle #Donate #FreeFamilyEvent - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/seattle/the-annual-rizal-park-jazz-festival-2026/200030446724914 - **Event Categories**: music, festivals, entertainment, nonprofit, jazz, live-music, food-drinks, music-festivals, food-truck-festivals - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 71 ## Ticket Details ## Event venue details - **city**: Seattle - **state**: WA - **country**: United States - **location**: Dr Jose Rizal Park - **lat**: 47.592251598208 - **long**: -122.3175409095 - **full address**: Dr Jose Rizal Park, 1008 12TH Ave S,Seattle, Washington, United States ## Event gallery - **Alt text**: The Annual Rizal Park Jazz Festival 2026 - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events1/banners/6cd2fc80b06cd670f5e3e9e6e1b666161810d89caf2e341efa26ae654d7a0924-rimg-w640-h960-dce8e8e8-gmir?v=1786800464 ## FAQs - **Q**: When and where is The Annual Rizal Park Jazz Festival 2026 being held? - **A:** The Annual Rizal Park Jazz Festival 2026 takes place on Sun, 16 Aug, 2026 at 01:00 pm to Sun, 16 Aug, 2026 at 06:00 pm at Dr Jose Rizal Park, 1008 12TH Ave S,Seattle, Washington, United States. - **Q**: Who is organizing The Annual Rizal Park Jazz Festival 2026? - **A:** The Annual Rizal Park Jazz Festival 2026 is organized by Jose Rizal Jazz Festival. - **Q**: Who is this event for?
