Welcome to the NoMad Jazz Festival, premiering in one of NYC’s most iconic live, work, play neighborhoods.
Jazz is coming home to NoMad with a weekend of unforgettable live music, family fun, and community vibes in Madison Square Park, our own unforgettable urban oasis.
The inaugural NoMad Jazz Festival will feature headliners like Lizz Wright, Ravi Coltrane, the Roy Hargrove Big Band, and more — plus dance-worthy sets, tap performances, morning kids’ programming, and pop-up cultural moments.
Just bring a blanket — no tickets needed. Come spend an hour or spend the day.
