Thank you for your ticket purchase for the 2022 NYC Winter Jazzfest! We will be in touch very soon with more festival details, lineup announcements and more. 

Covid-19 Policy

Our top priority is the safety of the Winter Jazzfest audiences, artists and staff. In consultation with medical and public health experts, and in accordance with NYS requirements, Winter Jazzfest will be implementing a mandatory vaccination policy. Upon arrival, all guests must present a photo ID along with proof that they meet the CDC definition of being fully vaccinated against COVID-19. For more information please visit https://www.winterjazzfest.com/covid-19 . In compliance with the CDC guidelines for fully vaccinated individuals, the audience will be at full capacity.

In addition to the vaccination policy, New York City continues to encourage masks for all indoor gatherings, except while you are actively eating or drinking. We will continue to monitor regulations and local cases to inform our policy and keep events as safe as possible for our fans, artists, and staff.

Diversity & Inclusivity  

From jazz’s Black American roots has come a musical discipline that spans the globe and has grown into a plethora of genres. To celebrate this diversity, NYC Winter Jazzfest seeks to showcase musicians of all backgrounds – across race and ethnicity, gender, sexuality, bodily ability, and more – as well as all disciplines within the umbrella we call “jazz”. Our audience is similarly diverse, boasting fans avid and new, local and international, industry professionals and those who just love to listen. We believe our diversity is our strength. 

Accessibility 

NYC Winter Jazzfest works to share our musical offerings in venues that are accessible – both for those with assistive mobility devices like wheelchairs and for those with other sorts of accessibility needs. This value is constantly in process as we seek to partner with accessible venues across the city. 

Feel-Good Space for All  

Winter Jazzfest is designed to be a feel-good space – a place to convene, to take pleasure in each other’s company and the music we all love. This goal is based on safety for all who take part in the event – from the performers and patrons to the staff of the venues that host us. We seek to develop a Safer Space, one in which all people feel valued and respected. The terminology “safer” is used instead of “safe” because we all have different definitions of safety. As such, and in alignment with the We Have Voice Collective, we have a zero tolerance policy for harassment of any kind. We uphold the equitable treatment of all people regardless of their various identities including race/ethnicity, gender, sexuality, age, ability, culture, immigration status, economic background, or religious beliefs. We ask that you join us in supporting the safety of all NYC Winter Jazzfest performers, staff, and audience members so we can do what we do best – enjoy the music.  

Stay tuned, more to come! 

Grateful for your support,

WJF Team
