The Catalina Island JazzTrax Festival is a long-running contemporary/smooth jazz festival that brings national and international artists to Avalon's historic Casino Ballroom on Catalina Island. Presented by JazzTrax, the event showcases a mix of smooth-jazz headliners and rising performers—lineups have included artists such as guitarist Roberto Restuccia—and is staged inside the art‑deco 1929 Casino Ballroom with harbor views, making it one of the island’s signature music events.
