Miami Gardens Mayor Rodney Harris said in a statement, “In an abundance of caution, the festival did not happen for the past two years due to COVID-19. It’s coming back in 2022, and we will do so in a safe way following all the CDC protocols.  We are also excited about bringing talented, award-winning artists to celebrate the 15th anniversary of the festival that showcases music and the culture and diversity of Miami Gardens. We look forward to celebrating with our residents and people from all over the world.”

Live Nation Urban president Shawn Gee added, “Jazz in the Gardens is one of the most important live events in the culture of Jazz & R&B music, globally. Our goal is not only to produce a stellar event, but to let the world know about the hidden gem that City of Miami Gardens has with this event.”

And Brittany Flores, president of Live Nation Florida, added, “We are honored to partner with Mayor Harris and the City of Miami Gardens … The event is staple here in south Florida and we are beyond excited to help continue the tradition and usher in the next chapter of this amazing event.”
