The festival brings together leading and emerging artists in performances that span generations and styles. Rooted in the neighborhood&rsquo;s rich musical legacy of Tin Pan Alley and the Great American Songbook, the festival honors jazz history while championing its future. Launched in 2025, the inaugural festival featured a weeklong series of performances across NoMad and Flatiron, showcasing more than 170 artists and culminating in a two-day Main Stage event in Madison Square Park that drew tens of thousands of visitors and set attendance records for a public program in the Park. Now expanding into year-round programming in 2026 &ndash; including the NoMad Jazz Festival Concert Series, Jazz in the NoMad Piazza, and special events across neighborhood venues and public spaces &ndash; the festival continues to grow its impact. Anchored by a flagship Main Stage that remains free and open to all, the NoMad Jazz Festival has quickly established itself as one of New York City&rsquo;s most inclusive, dynamic cultural events, powered by community collaboration and creativity.
