The 21st annual NYC Winter Jazzfest is a premier global jazz event held across multiple venues in Manhattan and Brooklyn. Known for its signature 'Marathon' nights, the festival showcases a diverse mix of legendary icons and emerging stars, blurring the boundaries of jazz with electronic, hip-hop, R&B, and global sounds. The 2025 edition features Artist-in-Residence Makaya McCraven and celebrates themes of social justice, wellness, and community.
The festival has banned single-use plastic bottles, sources 100% of its electricity from renewable sources, and implements recycling and composting programs.
