The 2015 Twin Cities Jazz Festival will showcase 350 Minnesota jazz artists. The 2015 festival will attract 45,000 festival goers. Twin Cities Jazz uses the following methods to evaluate the effectiveness of the festival and the management team: Assessment of Management Effectiveness—As the most important indication of financial health and sustainability, we are proud to have achieved 15 balanced budgets in the past 16 years; Audience stability or increases each year, documented by Park Police and venue staff, to be collected by Festival director; Assessment of Community Engagement—We conduct random audience surveys. Following the festival, an on-line survey is offered via Facebook, e-mails and our email list. The information is reviewed by the festival team and board to make improvements for the next Festival.
47,830 attendees enjoyed 132 shows performed by 524 artists (489 based in Minnesota). The online Survey demonstrated excellent results with 93% of 527 respondents rating the festival at the highest (57%) and next highest (36%) rankings (1 to 5 with 5 at the highest).
