Celebrate the Outdoors. Celebrate Community.
Bluffs2Backwaters is Winona’s signature recreation festival — a multi-day celebration of everything we love about getting outside. Set between our iconic bluffs and the winding backwaters of the Mississippi, the festival brings people together through adventure, music, art, and community.
Though Winona’s at the opposite end of the Mississippi from the birthplace of jazz, monthly jazz band performances, a Winona Jazz Festival, and even our own Mardi Gras celebration keeps the toe-tapping music alive here year-round.
The 39th Annual Winona Jazz Festival will be greatly expanded in 2026!
