Middlesex County Jazz Festival - NEW BRUNSWICK

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 of neighboring villages and our love of jazz music was the seed that led to a cooperative dialogue and 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!

The New Brunswick Middlesex County Jazz Festival will take place rain or shine.  Seating on George St. will begin at noon.
