Since 2016, Lindy Focus has taken on a project to bring back to light the music of one of the legendary bandleaders of the classic Swing era. Previous bandleaders include Chick Webb, Lionel Hampton, Jimmie Lunceford, Erskine Hawkins, and Al Cooper. Lindy Focus ‘26 will focus on reviving the music of Earl Hines.  For more information see our website.

Merch pre-orders will be open until November 30, 2026!

This year's shirt design is by the talented Natalia Eristavi!  You can find larger photos and sizing information here.

We will have a limited amount of merch available for sale in person at the Lindy Focus Registration Desk, however the best way to ensure you get the merch you want is to pre-order.

The idea of sharing a meal with our community is old, but offering it onsite at Lindy Focus is new.  This year on NYE, we are pleased to invite you to join us for dinner in Expo center.  You can stay in the hotel, get ready a bit early, enjoy a fully catered meal to the live sounds of Taryn Newborne, and gain early access to the photobooth. 

Dinner in Expo is an experiment this year, and we are limiting seats at the table so that we can keep the experience intimate and intentional. This is an extra add on for folks who want it, and is not included in base registration, so be sure to grab your ticket while they last!

Dinner will include salad, entrée, desert, and 1 drink ticket.  Entrée selection must be made at time of purchase.  Any guests under 21 will be limited to non-alcoholic drink choices.  Price includes all gratuities and local taxes.  Full menu details can be found here.
