New Jersey's Destination Jazz Festival

20 YEARS OF HISTORY SINCE 2004

The Hub City Jazz Festival, Inc. began in 2004 with modest goals. It was the brainchild of Allen McGriff, a local New Brunswick, NJ entrepreneur and Mason. Originally called the New Brunswick Jazz Festival, it was a fundraiser for the Progressive Temple Lodge. The festival was a two day weekend event featuring local artists including talented high school musicians. After 5 years, the festival outgrew its original venue and its mission’s expanded. The festival moved to downtown New Brunswick increasing its audience and diversifying the range of performers.


A Great Experience

More Than Just A Music Festival

Great food, craft brews and cocktails on tap cover the basic amenities. At night, the music moves into restaurant music venues within easy walking distance. The special Jazz Around Town late night performances often present memorable collaborations and up-close viewing of the artists in their element.
