Lancaster Avenue Jazz & Arts Festival

The Jazz & Arts Festival, which launched in 2006 as a neighborhood event, drawing a few hundred community members, has grown to become the signature event of HopePHL, drawing a regional audience of more than 5,000 families and community members, nationally renowned jazz artists, jazz enthusiasts, and partners annually. The event is planned by a committee representative of neighbors, business owners and community organizations, and celebrates Philadelphia’s jazz heritage, our creative arts and “makers” community, and our vibrant, culturally diverse neighborhoods.
