The 2024 National Grid Syracuse International Jazz Fest is here! This annual free admission Jazz Festival is staged outdoors in downtown Syracuse at historic Clinton Square Park and indoors on opening night at various clubs, bars, restaurants, and hotels located in Armory Square, Hanover Square, and within the Downtown Entertainment District.


With 26 talented Central New York Ensembles performing in 21 venues throughout Downtown Syracuse, Wednesday night’s opening Extravaganza of Jazz sets the stage for five, over-the-top, fabulously entertaining days. Clinton Square’s incredible Thursday, Friday & Saturday lineups will lure you in each night with non-stop, world-renowned performances leading up to the awesome headliners - The Mavericks, Kenny G & The O’Jays. Sunday morning’s Gospel Jazz Service at Syracuse University brings the weekend to a beautiful close.
