PHILADELPHIA - PennZone -- Philadelphia, PA — The heartbeat of North Philadelphia will come alive as the 6th Annual Jazzin' On Ridge Festival returns on Saturday, July 25, 2026, from 12 PM to 6 PM. This free community celebration will transform Ridge Avenue between 22nd and 23rd Streets into a vibrant gathering place filled with music, culture, creativity, local vendors, giveaways, and community connection.

Presented by the Lower North Philadelphia Community Development Corporation (LN PCDC), Jazzin' On Ridge has become a powerful symbol of unity, hope, and the continued revitalization of the Ridge Avenue Business District.

The festival was created in 2020 by Robbie Ridgeway, owner of Process Junior's Barber Shop, and his wife during the height of the pandemic as a way to bring people together through the healing and inspiring power of music. Along with Kimpedro Rodriguez, an illustrator, author, and drummer, they created an event that celebrates the artistic spirit, history, and resilience of the Sharswood community.

Now in its sixth year, Jazzin' On Ridge continues to showcase the strength of North Philadelphia by bringing together residents, businesses, artists, and community organizations. The event highlights the importance of supporting local talent while creating opportunities for connection and celebration.
