The Hudson Valley Jazz Festival is a vibrant arts and culture organization dedicated to celebrating and promoting live jazz throughout New York’s scenic Hudson Valley region. Since its inception in 2010, the festival has provided a dynamic platform for both emerging and established jazz artists, presenting performances in a variety of community-based venues including parks, cafes, galleries, and cultural centers.

This grassroots approach fosters community engagement and provides increased exposure to the rich musical culture of the region.

The festival curates a diverse range of jazz styles, from traditional to avant-garde, supporting educational initiatives and encouraging collaboration between musicians and local venues. It actively partners with local arts organizations, civic groups, and regional businesses to promote cultural tourism and community enrichment.
