The festival uses the rich legacy of jazz to expand our community’s perspective on individuals with unique abilities.
The festival takes place in multiple venues throughout Miami Beach over four days in January. The mission of disability awareness, access, opportunity, and inclusion is celebrated through a festival that takes pride in presenting world-renowned and emerging artists from the entire spectrum of jazz. All are open to the public, with many free and outdoors. The sounds of jazz will enliven the city all weekend long, providing residents and guests to Miami Beach a time to enjoy, listen, and learn.
Our mission is to bring awareness to the community about people living with disabilities and to provide opportunities for those people. To realize that we all have challenges and that tolerance and understanding is paramount.
