You won’t miss a single musician with this year’s schedule for JazzFest
weekend! All three sites are within a two minute walk from each other
and each offers something different. In the main tent you can enjoy the
summer weather with protection from the elements, or you can pitch your
picnic on the beautiful lawn.
Dreyfuss Auditorium offers unobstructed views of the stage, yet still keeps you close to the music and the musicians.
In the Ferguson Recreation Center, you enjoy the intimacy of a
small, casual room where you and the artists share conversation and
great music.
There are also tents for plenty of food and beverages, a huge
collection of CDs to browse and an opportunity to meet some of our
sponsors.
