This festival highlights many of Central Pennsylvania talented musicians and welcomes artists from New York, Philadelphia and beyond. A Riverboat Cruise, the annual JazzWalk, Jazz Picnic, Sunday Jazz Brunch, and Jam Session are the features of this four day event.

CPFJ is offering the Friday night JazzWalk with live music in several downtown venues including Bricco, the Hilton Harrisburg’s Patio, MoMo’s BBQ, Pints Bar and more.
