For the third year in a row, Buffalo Jazz Festival will be hosted on the Richardson-Olmsted Campus in Buffalo on Sunday, September 1st from 12:30 pm to 7:30 pm.
JazzBuffalo, a non-profit organization, presents this year’s Buffalo Jazz Festiva, seeking to increase and spread Jazz awareness and appreciation. They also host a variety of events throughout the year such as “Food Truck Tuesdays at Larkin Square,” as well as the “Jazz at Richardson” series, which holds performances both on the lawn and inside the Richardson Hotel.
The Richardson Hotel is also the home of the festival this year. The stage on the south lawn will hold performances throughout the day. The historic hotel was built as a mental asylum by Frederick Law Olmsted (of Central Park fame,) and housed patients from 1880 until 1974. The campus was deemed a National Historic Landmark in 1986.
Attendees this year will experience Salsa, Latin Jazz, as well as timeless jazz classics. The festival will include free salsa and swing dance lessons.
