Each year, BJF features performances by some of the best jazz musicians in the the business! Since our inception in 2010, we have brought together thousands of attendees and have presented almost 80 recording and performing artists. Thanks to all for the support and donations received from our sponsors, and/or music lovers, we are able to do it once again!

Jazz is a true American art form, traditionally associated with several cities of the United States. Each summer the Boston Jazz Fest pays homage to the genre’s African American roots and also draws together many of the most innovative and exciting contemporary jazz artists from around the globe in a weekend of musical brotherhood. We welcome all to the 16th year of this FREE ground-breaking festival featuring a musically diverse array of jazz artists performing at Boston’s Seaport Waterfront.
