During the typically bleak post–New Year’s Eve concert lull, Winter Jazzfest promises a bright spot on the city’s calendar. Expect to hear more than 100 groups from around the world. Now in its 21st year, the annual event showcases new talent performing a broad spectrum of musical styles all under the banner of jazz.
This year's fest runs Thursday, January 9, 2025 to Wednesday, January 15, 2025, with immense "Marathon" events in Manhattan on Friday, January 10 and in Brooklyn on Saturday, January 11.
Buy advance tickets at the official festival website. A two-day marathon pass costs $155-$265, or $85 per day if bought separately. You can also purchase tickets for individual shows, which start at $30.
