Exit Zero Jazz Festival
The Exit Zero Jazz Festival is one of the most popular Cape May events. The three-day festival features international touring artists performing a variety of music genres on two main outdoor stages on the grounds of the Exit Zero Ferry Park, located at the Cape May Ferry Terminal. In addition to the two main stages, each night, the musical entertainment continues with shows hosted at local bars and restaurants in Cape May.
Part of what makes this festival so fun for all is you might find yourself at one moment dancing to a New Orleans brass band, and, in the next, walking through town behind a 22-piece Brazilian drum bloco. This is the excitement of the Exit Zero Jazz Festival, the discovery of music and musicians at almost every corner you turn.
The music
There is a wide variety of musical line-ups with three main headliners at each of the two stages, on each day of the festival. Line-up includes Brassville, Snacktime Phily, Brass Queens, and so much more. At night, local establishments such as the Cape May Brewing Company and Nauti Spirits Distillery will host a variety of musical performances to round out the day. The first of the evening shows begins at 7:00 p.m. View the full line-up here.
