| Festival Description | The Berklee BeanTown Jazz Festival is a free outdoor festival, featuring three stages of live music, a family park, over 70 vendors, fun for all ages — even an instrument petting zoo. It is a true celebration of the diversity of our communities, where music crosses all borders unites young and old, rich and poor, all races. The festival attracts about 55,000 each year. The National Endowment for the Arts (NEA) has supported the festival with a grant, for the third year in a row. Berklee College of Music presents Grammy-winning, internationally renowned superstars and cornerstones of the Boston jazz scene — Jazz, Latin, blues, and groove acts.
