Cape May Jazz
Festival
Each November and April,
Cape May NJ is infused
with the jiving sounds
of the Cape May Jazz
Festival. For three
days, nationally
renowned Jazz musicians
heat up the town and
give visitors another
reason to come back to
Cape May year after
year.
 Cape
May Jazz is known for
celebrating jazz from
the past while keeping an ear to the
future through the introduction of
up-and-coming jazz
musicians in the genres
of Traditional, Blues
and Latin Jazz. The
streets of Cape May are
filled with the sounds
of the sax and trumpet,
offering a romantic
getaway or enlivened
family vacation. Come
experience one of
America’s most beloved
genres of music at the
Cape May Jazz Festival.
Bacchus Inn puts you
right in the middle of
it all, only steps from
Beach Avenue and the
Promenade. Our
Cape May
Bed & Breakfast fills up
early, so be sure to
reserve your Cape May
Lodging for a musical
experience of a
lifetime.
