“While people are still getting back on their feet after several years of setbacks with rising inflation and a myriad of other challenges, we’ve closely looked at how we can provide an unrivaled experience at a price point that best meets our community,” San Jose Jazz Executive Director Brendan Rawson said in a news release.

To that effect, San Jose Jazz has added an additional price tier for early bird ticket buyers.

The event will take place at a recently upgraded Plaza de César Chávez, with re-sodded green spaces, colorful flowers, Adirondack chairs, sun umbrellas and games like ping pong and corn hole. Food and drink vendors will again be on hand for the festival.
