2025 NYC Winter Jazzfest

January 9 – 15, 2025

Various locations

The 2025 NYC Winter Jazzfest returns from January 9–15, bringing together jazz enthusiasts, cultural explorers, and music fans from around the world. Since its founding in 2005, the festival has grown into a cornerstone of New York City’s cultural calendar, praised by outlets like The New York Times, The New Yorker, and NPR. Known for its innovative programming, the festival features a dynamic lineup of contemporary jazz, experimental sounds, and global creative music across numerous venues in Manhattan and Brooklyn. Highlights include the festival’s famed Friday and Saturday night music marathons, offering access to multiple stages for a one-of-a-kind immersive experience that stretches into the early hours.

More than just a showcase of music, Winter Jazzfest celebrates jazz as a living art form, where tradition and innovation intersect in every performance. With a reputation as the largest jazz festival in New York, it attracts a discerning audience from over 20 countries and serves as a vital platform for emerging artists. It’s also a must-attend for arts professionals participating in the annual Association of Performing Arts Professionals (APAP) conference, who come to discover new talent and explore the festival’s diverse offerings. Founder and producer Brice Rosenbloom has shaped the festival’s curatorial vision to highlight both underserved and pioneering artists, ensuring Winter Jazzfest remains a hub of creativity and cultural exchange.

In addition to its musical programming, the festival reflects a commitment to community and activism. During the pandemic, Rosenbloom co-founded Jazz Coalition to support musicians with grants for new work and became a steering committee member of The Blacksmiths, an organization promoting racial equity in the arts. With its unique blend of artistry, community, and innovation, the 2025 NYC Winter Jazzfest promises to once again cement its place as a vital destination for jazz and contemporary music lovers alike.
