[MIAMI GARDENS] -The City of Miami Gardens has announced Jazz in the Gardens (JITG), its popular 2-day jazz and R&B music festival, will return in March 2022 to the world-class Hardrock Stadium.
In 2020 the City was forced to cancel the festival just days before its scheduled dates. This in an effort to protect its attendees against the COVID-19 virus. The festival will not occur in 2021 as a result of the ongoing challenges of the pandemic.
“We are disappointed about the cancellation of the 15th anniversary of the festival. However, safety remains the highest priority for the City of Miami Gardens. It is prudent for us to get COVID-19 under control. Essentially, in order to plan a safe and successful staging of Jazz in the Gardens for everyone to enjoy. I look forward to celebrating with all our patrons, vendors and our sponsors. Especially when we return in 2022,” said Miami Gardens Mayor Rodney Harris.
