HISTORY

The inaugural 2012 Center City Jazz Festival took place in April 2012 and featured bands from the Philadelphia region. Jazz lovers came out for an exhilarating day of great music, and bands performed in four packed venues that were all centrally located in downtown Philadelphia. The 2012 Festival was made possible through an innovative Kickstarter campaign, during which nearly 200 individuals contributed.
