Bayfront Jazz Festival

Apr 30 – May 1, 2021
301 Biscayne Blvd, Miami, FL 33132, United States

As most cities dip their toes in plans for reopening their festivals, Miami splashily launches a new one. Bayfront Park’s amphitheater (now ringed like Saturn with a solar array) will offer 1,500 of its 7,500 seats for socially distanced shows featuring Chucho Valdés, Dee Dee Bridgewater, Mark Guiliana, Roy Ayers, Gonzalo Rubalcaba, and Aymée Nuviola. If you’re out-of-state, risk-averse, or both—i.e., the antithesis of Florida Man—there’s always the livestream. —E.E.
