Berks Arts Council is presenting the Boscov’s Berks Jazz Fest Encore Online concert series on Facebook from Thursday, April 2, through Monday, April 6. 

The 30^th anniversary Boscov’s Berks Jazz Fest was postponed because of the coronavirus pandemic and rescheduled until April 9-18, 2021 with the same artist lineup and schedule. To help fill the void this year, Berks Arts Council and festival officials are providing fans with 11 great online concert experiences on Facebook during this time of social distancing.

Berks Jazz Fest is well known for the amazing connection between fans, artists, staffers and volunteers. Berks Jazz Fest Encore Online sustains this connectivity virtually, underscoring the reality that we all are in this crisis together.

The online concerts will be posted on the Berks Jazz Fest Facebook page at the designated date and time listed below. After the scheduled Facebook posting, all concerts will be available on the Berks Jazz Fest Vimeo Channel so fans can view shows they missed.

Festival officials are asking fans to consider making a voluntary donation to Berks Arts Council to help offset the financial losses resulting from the postponed 30^th annual Berks Jazz Fest.
