Berks Arts partnered with local organizations, venues, live-music presenters, and educators to develop a dynamic, community-wide series of jazz performances, educational programs, and special events.

A wide variety of settings throughout Berks County — offering audiences multiple ways to experience jazz, from intimate club performances to large-scale concerts.

The expanded programming will provide additional performance opportunities for local, regional, and national musicians, reinforcing Berks County’s long-standing reputation as a vibrant destination for live jazz.

Now in its 35th year, the Boscov’s Berks Jazz Fest remains one of the region’s premier music events — attracting artists and audiences from across the country while celebrating the enduring legacy and evolving future of jazz.

The success and longevity of the fest have been made possible by the unwavering support of the local business community, arts organizations, dedicated volunteers, sponsors, and patrons. Their continued generosity and commitment have helped the fest flourish year after year.

In turn, the fest has delivered lasting benefits to the community, contributing significantly to the cultural landscape through arts and education, while also generating meaningful economic impact for the region.
