17th Annual Stan Michels Jazz Festival at Fort Tryon Park

Mark your calendars for Saturday, July 26 at 1:00 PM and join us for the 17th Annual Stan Michels Jazz Festival, a beloved summer tradition set against the stunning backdrop of Fort Tryon Park’s Stan Michels Promenade.

Her performances create an intimate cultural experience that she brings to life annually at the Stan Michels Jazz Festival.

Whether you’re a longtime jazz aficionado or simply looking for a memorable way to enjoy summer in the city, the Stan Michels Jazz Festival offers an unforgettable afternoon of music, community, and celebration. Bring your friends, pack a picnic, and soak in the sounds of jazz in one of Manhattan’s most picturesque outdoor venues.
