Red Hook Jazz Festival
The Red Hook Jazz Festival (RHJF) is a small music festival that takes place every summer in the US metropolis of New York City . Venue is the Urban Meadow - a community garden for urban horticulture - in the eponymous district Red Hook of the municipality ( Borough ) Brooklyn , not far from the Buttermilk Channel .
The festival was launched in 2008 as a grassroots event by musicians Michael Golub, Paul DeLucia and Tamar Smith-Golub to attract more attention to local artists and raise awareness of Urban Meadow . Within a short time it developed into a meeting place for the international jazz scene . Just four years later rose Marty Markowitz , the then Borough President of Brooklyn, June 10, 2012 by decree to the "5 th annual Red Hook Jazz Festival celebration day". Numerous top-class musicians now play in the green area every year.
The Red Hook Jazz Festival is usually held on two consecutive Sundays in June. Only volunteers are responsible for the organization. There is no advance ticket sales and children have free entry.
