New Bedford JazzFest (NBJF) proudly announces JazzFest 2025: Acoustic Jazz Series. The events will feature local live acoustic jazz in an informal setting, ideal for questions and conversation beginning Sunday, May 25, from 4:00-6:00 PM. Local jazz musicians will bring their cool vibe and sophisticated sound to the Steeple Playhouse for the first concert on May 25.

Doors will open at 3:30 PM. Acoustic Jazz concerts will have concessions and drinks available for purchase. New Bedford JazzFest is excited to host its event in its newly renovated venue, the historic Steeple Playhouse, located at 159 William Street in downtown New Bedford.
General admission tickets are $25 in advance, (until May 24) and $35 from May 25 until 2 hours before the doors open on May 25. All tickets are available at steepleplayhouse.org. The festival takes place rain or shine, as it is indoors.
