Despite an attempt to reschedule for later in the year, the Atlanta Jazz Festival has been canceled.
The 43rd annual free event usually takes place over Memorial Day Weekend at Piedmont Park. In late April, the Mayor's Office of Cultural Affairs announced that due to the coronavirus, this year's festival would not be held for its usual pre-summer gathering, but attempts were being made to move the event to the fall.
But now, the combined continued impact of the pandemic and the CDC and Georgia State guidelines limiting gatherings to 10 or fewer people, has resulted in cancellation.
“While there will not be a festival this year, we were happy to be able to share 31 days of unique jazz performances by Atlanta artists throughout May, and will work to reschedule the Atlanta Jazz Festival for a future date that will ensure festivalgoers’ wellbeing and safety,” said Camille Russell Love, executive director of the Mayor’s Office of Cultural Affairs.
