The Freihofer's Jazz Festival is two jam-packed days and nights of jazz amidst one of the most spectacular park settings in the country. Held at the Saratoga Performing Arts Center at the end of June, this outdoor festival has become an annual pilgrimage for many, as hotel bookings are made years in advance. The casual approach taken by the facility allows families to take advantage of the spacious grounds with tents, gatherings, picnics and umbrellas. The varied display of craftspeople add to the festive atmosphere making this an ultimate jazz weekend.
Past performers at Saratoga include B.B. King, Al Jarreau, Spyro Gyra, Cassandra Wilson, James Brown, Regina Carter, Manhattan Transfer, Grover Washington Jr., Diana Krall, Maceo Parker, Chick Corea, Dave Brubeck, Natalie Cole, Dee Dee Bridgewater, Chris Botti, Brad Mehldau Trio and many others.
