2025 Charles River Jazz Festival

2025 Charles River Jazz Festival The Charles River Jazz Festival (CRJF) presented by the Boston Jazz Foundation is back for its 5th Annual entertainment extravaganza on Saturday, July 12, 2025, at Herter Park Amphitheater (1175 Soldiers Field Rd) from 12:00 pm – 9:00 pm. This family-friendly, FREE event features local art and food vendors, Boston-based and world-renowned music acts, and more. General Admission is FREE and first come, first served. We recommend getting there early to secure a good spot, as we expect the event to hit capacity. For those who are able, we kindly suggest a $20 donation to support the sound! The Charles River Jazz Festival is a grassroots, volunteer-run community event. Your support helps us keep the festival free for everyone, ensures musicians are paid fairly, and helps cover production costs. We appreciate your help in making this celebration of music possible. <a href="https://www.eventbrite.com/e/2025-charles-river-jazz-festival-tickets-1244007583169?aff=oddtdtcreator">Ticket Link Here</a> Official 2025 Artist Lineup: <a href="https://keyonharroldmusic.com/">Keyon Harrold</a> <a href="https://www.facebook.com/followfreelance/">Freelance</a> <a href="https://www.christiansandsjazz.com/home">Christian Sands</a> <a href="https://www.caioejess.com/">Caio e Jess</a> <a href="https://www.ivannacuesta.com/">Ivanna Cuesta</a> <a href="https://college.berklee.edu/jazz-gender-justice">Berklee Institute of Jazz and Gender Justice</a> Official 2025 Food Vendors:<ul><li>Chubby Chickpea</li><li>Bon Me</li><li>Yumtastic Yum Yum</li><li>Cini Coffee</li><li>Lordya Gourmet</li><li>Boston Ice Cream Truck</li></ul>Early Bird VIP and Platinum Tickets: ( Save $50.
