Exit Zero Jazz Festival
April 20 – 22
Come see Chris Botti headline the Exit Zero Jazz Festival on Saturday, April 21. He’ll be joined by several other performers who, though not as famous, are incredibly talented musicians. In terms of popularity, the Exit Zero Jazz Festival has surpassed the old Cape May Jazz Festival that was a staple for so many years. In fact, Exit Zero is well on its way to becoming one of the premier festivals in the country.
