Jules Broussard New Orleans Jazz Festival | Mac's, Fairfax | CA

Five Saturdays. One New Orleans Jazz Celebration in Marin.

This October, Jules Broussard brings the spirit, soul and sound of New Orleans to Fairfax for five Saturday afternoons at Mac’s at 19 Broadway.

Welcome to the Jules Broussard New Orleans Jazz Festival — a month-long celebration of live jazz in Marin County featuring one of the Bay Area's most enduring saxophonists.

October 3 • 10 • 17 • 24 • 31

Every Saturday • 2–5 PM

Come for one Saturday — or make it an October tradition.

Expect soulful saxophone, New Orleans jazz, blues, swing, deep grooves and the unmistakable sound of Jules Broussard and his New Orleans Jazz Band inside the intimate setting of Mac’s in downtown Fairfax.

A Living Piece of Bay Area Music History

Louisiana-born Jules Broussard has been performing for more than six decades and has shared stages and recording sessions with artists including Ray Charles, Van Morrison, Carlos Santana and Boz Scaggs. UCSF documented those collaborations, and current appearances continue to bill Broussard as a Louisiana-born Bay Area jazz veteran whose career spans more than 60 years.

Now Jules brings his New Orleans sound to Marin County for five Saturdays in October.

This isn't background music.

It's an afternoon built around the music.

The Mac’s Experience

Mac’s at 19 Broadway is a longtime Fairfax gathering place for live music, cocktails and entertainment in the heart of Marin County.

The venue combines an intimate live-music room with a renovated cocktail lounge, indoor and outdoor areas and handcrafted cocktails. Mac's Eventbrite organizer profile describes the venue as a longstanding Fairfax neighborhood bar and live-music destination with heated lounge areas and an updated stage.

This is the kind of room where you don't watch Jules from hundreds of feet away.

You're part of the room.

Grab a drink. Find your spot. Settle in.

Then let the music take over.
