A Big Thank You for the incredible efforts of the dedicated teams and volunteers who made the festival a joyful experience for all.
This is an opportune time to take a moment to acknowledge the unsung heroes who work tirelessly behind the scenes to make the Northwest Jazz Festival in Lewiston, NY possible. A huge thank you to Jennifer Pauly, Suzanne Raby, and Susie Reinhardt from the chamber offices for pulling together the massive operational logistics of the festival. In addition to their year-long efforts, their long hours with very little sleep over three days are genuinely appreciated.
The festival couldn’t have done it without Jeff Jordan and his team for ensuring all electrical and power needs were met, and a special shout-out to Mark Percy, Bill Ross, and Jerry Kruyenvenger for their impeccable stage management and sound expertise. Sam and the team from APG, thank you for your incredible top-notch sound technical production and services. Thank you to Dave Sipos for the 2 days of piano tuning expertise. We’re also deeply grateful to Gallo for their exceptional hospitality.
A big thanks to Buffalo Taxi for handling transportation to and from the airport, Niagara Crossings for providing accommodations, and the City of Lewiston and the Lewiston Police Department for their support.
Many thanks to all the vendors who stake out a spot to sell delicious foods and drinks as well as the Jewerly Tent vendors who put their art on display every year. And, for the financial support from the many sponsors!
Lastly, a big thanks to the many volunteers from Niagara University and individuals who dedicated their time and energy to this event. Your hard work and dedication helped make the festival a joyful experience for thousands of attendees!
