The event, taking place at the Beatrix Farrand Garden on Saturday June 17th, 2023 at 3 PM, will be free and open to the public. This afternoon of music is organized in celebration of the upcoming Jazz in the Valley festival which will be taking place on August 20, 2023 on Poughkeepsie’s waterfront (Waryas Park). Join us for an unforgettable afternoon, a taste of what Jazz in the Valley has in store, set in the bucolic setting of the Beatrix Farrand Garden.

Jazz in the Valley (JITV), now in its 23rd year, is the longest running jazz festival in the Mid-Hudson Valley. On August 20, 2023, Jazz in the Valley will return to the Poughkeepsie waterfront (Waryas Park) to continue its tradition of presenting NEA Jazz Masters alongside exciting young leaders of the jazz idiom right in our backyard. In addition to its commitment to bringing world-class music to our community, Jazz in the Valley features some of the best food, wine, beer and art that the Hudson Valley has to offer. Ranked highly by Dutchess Tourism as a critical and popular event, Jazz in the Valley is simply not to be missed!
