The Festival’s 20th anniversary will feature more than 2,000 artists from around the world.
The CGI Rochester International Jazz Festival returns for its 20th anniversary, June 23rd through July 1st. Nineteen venues in downtown Rochester, NY, will host 300 shows (100 are free!) performed for an estimated festival crowd of 200,000. The world-famous festival is a great place to discover new music and familiar favorites, easily navigated using the Rochester Jazz Festival app. Not only does Downtown Rochester, NY, get to start the summer with more than a week of great music, but the festival is also creating an estimated economic impact of $8-10 million.
Marc Iacona, Executive Director and Co-Producer of the Rochester International Jazz Festival, discusses the festival in this week’s GRE WROC Why Roc TV Interview.
