Highlights of 2022 Festival

The Morristown Jazz & Blues Festival has become one of the most popular events in the region for so many reasons.
Morristown has a wonderful town center with a beautiful Green and it offers plenty to do.
But the music has been the main attraction and the talent has been top notch:
