The Al Sears Jazz Festival, founded in 2002 and produced by the City of Macomb, has grown to include the region's top performing jazz artists as well as artist of international fame. Western Illinois University and the Jazz Studies Department have played a significant role in this great festival from its inception with performances by the WIU Steel Band, Jazz Studio Orchestra, and the WIU Hopper Faculty Jazztet.

The Al Sears Artists in Residence Day provides the WIU University community an opportunity to interact with national jazz artists visiting the region for the festival. Artists participate in interactive clinics and performances for WIU students and high school participants.
