Saratoga Jazz Festival’s Show Times Announced

Saratoga Performing Arts Center has announced the specific starting times of performances in its 45th Jazz Festival Saturday, June 25, and Sunday, June 26. This marks the 25th year of sponsorship by Freihofer’s.

This schedule clarifies festival information provided earlier in Nippertown: https://nippertown.com/2022/06/16/saratoga-jazz-festival-back-in-full-force/.

Unlike the festival’s earlier years, starting times are staggered on the two stages so that “gotta-see-everything” fans can at least sample all the acts without entirely missing any. Now fans can efficiently bounce between the two stages, enjoying at least a taste of each act.

Also, please note that previously announced artist Carolyn Wonderland has cancelled and Sunday’s acts on the Charles R. Wood “Jazz Discovery” Stage are re-arranged, with singer Dara Star Tucker replacing Wonderland.
