Middlesex County Jazz Festival - New Brunswick

The Middlesex County Jazz Festival – New Brunswick, will take place rain or shine.

The idea of a Middlesex County-wide jazz festival developed when the leaders of musical events in each town realized that each city produces live musical events, including jazz.

This shared experience among neighboring towns and our love of jazz were the seeds that led to a cooperative dialogue and an agreement to join in creating this cross-town event. The event was so successful that Carteret was added to the festival in 2024. The event is fully accessible and free for everyone to enjoy in outdoor venues. This is and will continue to be an annual tradition for Jazz in Middlesex County for years to come, and it would be nothing without you!
