Please join us to help our young people continue America’s true art form — jazz.  Your attendance 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 scholarships.

We celebrate the 20th Anniversary of the Litchfield Jazz Camp at the Goshen Fairgrounds on Sunday, August 7th. The party is the event of the season and our first jazz brunch! Enjoy delicious food, Southern style by festival favorite O’Deens BBQ, Brother Thelonious Ale from North Coast Brewing Co.,private reserve French wines courtesy of VandorenVineyards and music to match. Donald Harrison leads a big band of top jazz campers in music from the Big Easy. The Scat & Scramble is included in all Best Friends and Sunday Friends tickets, get yours today!
