Enjoy Winter Jazzfest

“Winter Jazzfest illustrates just why the City is aptly known as the Jazz capital of the world". Since its inception in 2005, Winter Jazzfest has been lighting New York City with some of the biggest names and up-and-comers in the music business. What began as a one-day event at a single site grew enormously into a week-long spectacle featuring over 700 artists across more than 10 stages.

The festival, however, includes much more than just performances. The event also features conversations and presentations on a variety of subjects, including social justice, gender, environmentalism, wellness, and mental health, in addition to the jazz community. Particularly, the festival's Friday and Saturday nights' music marathon has come to be known as a significant and unique feature of New York's nightlife, allowing visitors full access to all participating venues from early evening, deep into the wee wee hours.
