Please join us to help our young people continue America’s true art form -- jazz.  Your participation will support the future of live jazz by helping the ground breaking Litchfield Jazz Camp continue to build a scholarship fund for students in financial need. Each year we award 1/3 of our Jazz Campers need-based scholarhips.

Celebrate the 18th Anniversary of the Litchfield Jazz Festival at the Goshen Fairgrounds. Enjoy fine foods, private reserve French wines courtesy of Vandoren Vineyards, microbrews by the Olde Burnside Brewing Company and music all night long. Dress fabulously! It's a party!

VIP parking on site, up-front seating, and access to the Sunset Lounge is included in your Friends ticket.

“Friends Gala” Sponsors include Vandoren Vineyards, The Olde Burnside Brewing Company, Harney & Sons Fine Teas and Crystal Rock. Friday night Friends Gala parking will be a reserved section directly on-site at the Goshen Fairgrounds.

Proceeds support Jazz Camp scholarships.

Litchfield Performing Arts, the not-for-profit that runs the Festival and Camp, is dedicated to changing lives through the arts. The Litchfield Jazz Festival’s educational arm, Litchfield Jazz Camp, has been awarding need-based scholarships to students in financial need since its inaugural year in 1997. In past summers we have been able to award up to $100,000 in scholarships! Becoming a “Friend” or “Best Friend” of the festival will help us ensure we never have to turn away a child in need.
