The Montclair Jazz Festival (MJF) is the largest free jazz festival in the NYC metro area, transforming downtown Montclair, NJ into a cultural takeover each summer. Anchored by the Downtown Jamboree + Brother Mister Block Party on Saturday, MJF spans multiple months of programming—with summer concerts, student showcases, a DJ-hosted finale, and massive public activations.

Founded by Jazz House KiDS, MJF fuses world-class talent with community impact. Over 26,000 attendees gather to hear legends like Christian McBride, Lisa Fischer, Joe Lovano, Dee Dee Bridgewater, and Paquito D’Rivera, while enjoying interactive zones, food, drinks, and brand activations throughout the downtown corridor.

The festival offers unparalleled reach, cultural equity, and grassroots energy—and gives sponsors access to a diverse, influential, and loyal audience that spans art, tech, and civic communities.
