Riverview Jazz began in 2013 as a community concert at the Riverview Farmers Market in Jersey City Heights. In a few short years, Riverview Jazz was producing up to 100 events a year free-to-the-public. In 2019, the Riverview Jazz Festival rebranded as the Jersey City Jazz Festival and drew a crowd of 30,000 attendees, making it one of the largest jazz festivals in the NYC-tristate area.
In addition to the Jersey City Jazz Festival and the Jersey City Latin Jazz Festival, Riverview Jazz produces or partners on events year-round throughout Hudson County. The vast majority of these are free to the community and feature some of the best musical talent in the area.
