Freihofer's Jazz Festival In Saratoga NY

Saratoga Jazz Festival – June 26 - 27, 2010

SARATOGA SPRINGS NY – Visit the 2010 Freihofer's Jazz Festival in Saratoga Springs, June 26 - 27! If you love good jazz music and having fun, you don't want to miss this festival. It's the most popular jazz festival in the area and one of the most anticipated events in Saratoga each summer!

Over 20 world-class jazz artists will take the stage at SPAC this year. Among them are Gladys Knight, Buena Vista Social Club visionaries, Al Jarreau, Ahmad Jamal & many more.

Bring all the food and drink with you that you would like! Jazz Festival is a BYOB event and a great opportunity to enjoy a picnic on the SPAC lawn with friends and family. Or enjoy a Southern-style BBQ with all your classic cuisine. Lawn tickets are only $44 per person for the event!

Freihofer's Jazz Festival is held at Saratoga Performing Arts Center in the Saratoga Spa State Park each year the last weekend in June (get directions to SPAC).

Gates open for the festival at 10 am, but people start lining up long before then (we're talking 6 am or earlier) to get a prime spot. If you don't want to stand in line all morning, just throw some binoculars into your bag, and you're good to go. The big-name acts at the Saratoga Jazz Festival perform all day long on the main stage (SPAC amphitheatre), and the Gazebo usually features up and coming jazz artists, with performances trailing off in early evening.

Ticketholders can enter at either the main SPAC gate or Hall of Springs gate. Tickets cost $44 for lawn, and up to $65 for amphitheatreseating. If you get lawn tickets, we recommend bringing blankets to sit on, packed coolers with food and drinks forthe day, beach chairs, and umbrellas or tents to help you stay comfortable through the day-long festivities.
