Inwood Jazz Festival

INWOOD JAZZ FESTIVAL
(Bringing JAZZ All The Way UP Uptown)

BRUCE REYNOLDS GARDEN is proud to present the 1st Annual free, one day, outdoor, Inwood Jazz Festival! WHY do we want to create the first ever outdoor jazz festival in Inwood, free of charge, and open to all?

1) Bringing this exciting new cultural offering to Inwood and thereby highlighting this vibrant (yet sometimes overlooked) part of NYC will benefit both visitors and residents and enrich the community, and the city in more ways than one. Whether it's the economic, cultural, or even educational benefit - there are only upsides to this idea!

2) Festival will be another way to support and engage local businesses, many of whom are still recovering from economic blows handed to them by the pandemic.

3) With IJF, we will be adding another new platform for all the jazz artists in NY, who have lost so many venues during shutdowns, and with them - their livelihoods.

4) This event will allow the local community (families and youth in particular), to experience first-hand, and in their very own "backyard", the magnificent power and beauty of the American classical art form - JAZZ. New York's jazz clubs, while admirable staples of our City, tend to be unattainable to youngest New Yorkers, either due to cost or the "bedtime" incompatibilities (parents will know what we mean here!)
