After two years of Covid-enforced inactivity, the SJF will be returning to Stowe this summer on August 5/6/7. Three days of world class jazz, totally free to the public...no tickets, no cover charges. Nada. This is our model - proven in the first 3 years of the event's success.
We invite all local and regional business participation and sponsorships, as we have since 2019. We'll have Artists appearing at our MainStage at The Alchemist, Cork Wine Bar and Restaurant, Piecasso, Doc Pond's, Stowe Cider...and other venues - again, at no charge to the public. We'll again have our print program to help us raise funds and promote local and regional business. And we will also be starting a GO FUND ME drive soon...
Why do we do this? Because we CAN. What we are doing hasn't a profit motive. Our motivations are different...world class music we would NEVER get up here, diversity, accessibility to families and students at no cost. So...if YOU can...please do. ;)
Most folks know what this event brings to town in the way of business...shopping, lodging, restaurant patronage, bar business...you name it. Some know and appreciate what it brings in terms of Cultural and Artistic exposure and awareness - or our ability to work with interns and help students of music apply to and get accepted at colleges and universities.
So please get in touch if you would like to underwrite, sponsor, participate, volunteer - as a business, corporation, individual or 'angel'. This is our 'come-back' year - and we will certainly need the support of the community. Residents, second home owners and folks new to the area. Get involved.
Thanks...more to come...but feel free to reach out!
