History of Jazz in the Gardens
Since the first event was held in 2006, Jazz in the Gardens (JITG) has brought hundreds of world-renowned artists to South Florida. Although “jazz” is in the name, JITG has a diverse lineup that touches genres like R&B, hip-hop, rap and Afrobeats depending on the year. A few past performers include Erykah Badu, Mary J. Blige, the Isley Brothers and H.E.R., who just appeared with Usher at the Super Bowl. JITG has also grown to include a food village area and an expansive marketplace with pop-up shops featuring local vendors. Alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages will be available at the event as well.
