Jazz in Buffalo: A Time to Unite at the Exciting Buffalo Jazz Festival!

Returning to the Historic Richardson Towers!

This weekend, the Buffalo Jazz Festival returns, for its 3rd year, to the historic grounds of the Richardson Towers, offering a chance for our community to come together in celebration of our city’s vibrant jazz community. Set against the iconic backdrop of the Richardson Olmsted Campus, we invite everyone to gather for a day filled with incredible performances, friendly company, and a shared love for jazz. It’s not just a festival – it’s more than that —it’s a moment to unite as a community, lift each other in spirit, enjoy amazing music, and honor Buffalo’s rich cultural heritage.

We’re thrilled for everyone, and those with limited mobility to travel far, who appreciates the chance to attend a jazz festival that enriches our exceptional culture and to embrace all of Buffalo’s citizens. It’s a celebration of our vibrant jazz community!
