As a long time Jazz Fest enjoyer, I want to be clear that I understand the following changes.
There is no option to bring our own chairs, only rentals allowed? What about little side tables?
Restrictions on food other than in plastic bags?
Let’s be clear I enjoy jazz music. I love the park and summer vibes. The line up is decent. I’d recommend better headliners. The festival is dying, attendance is in decline. Haven’t seen much festival excitement in years. Kem, Jill Scott , Maxwell . Musiq , Roots, Deangelo , anybody on your yacht rock playlist. There is space for all forms of artistry. I think it’s time to wake up the festival. I’m sure it’s hard work organizing such an event and impossible to please everybody. Attending is no longer a must Rochester and Syracuse are free and more entertaining.
Be blessed❤️
Good evening Mr. Arslanian,
My name is Zack Bacak and I’m a musician based in the Boston area. I’m reaching out to see what the booking policy is for artists for 2025 or 2026, as I’m hoping to bring one of my groups to the festival. Please let me know at your earliest convenience and I’m happy to send over whatever information you may need. Thank you!
