The 24th annual Lewiston Jazz Festival, presented by Northwest Bank, returns to the historic Village of Lewiston on Friday and Saturday, Aug. 28-29, continuing a tradition that has brought world-class jazz, local talent, food, and thousands of visitors to the community for more than two decades.
Since its beginning, the Lewiston Jazz Festival has remained committed to its founding mission: making jazz accessible to as many people as possible while showcasing both internationally recognized artists and the incredible musicians found throughout Western New York. The festival remains free to attend, with performances taking place across five stages throughout the village.
“We are proud of what this festival has become and the role it continues to play in the Lewiston community,” said Bill Savino, chairman of the Jazz Festival Foundation board. “Every year brings an opportunity to build on what we have created while continuing to introduce audiences to exceptional jazz. Our board and volunteers work throughout the year to make this weekend possible, and we are excited to welcome everyone back to Lewiston for our 24th festival.”
This year’s festival features more than two-dozen performances across five stages, with a lineup that spans traditional jazz, contemporary sounds, “big band,” vocals and more.
