The Twin Cities Jazz Festival is gearing up to celebrate its 25th anniversary from June 23 to June 34.

Twin Cities Jazz Festival Founder Steve Heckler sat down with 5 EYEWITNESS NEWS reporter Alex Jokich to discuss more on the event.

“It started off as a way just to promote some artists and we had no idea it would grow into what it’s become,” Heckler said. “A big thing is having so much talent in this city, and that really makes this work too.”
