As an outdoor music festival (7/10 & 7/11), we're weather-dependent, and we're also not a concert. We're a festival with several groups performing, and sometimes weather and encores have us running behind. We try to stay as close to the published schedule as much as possible, but because of changing weather conditions and artistic spontaneity, everything schedule-wise is subject to change.

PEts are not permitted during concerts at Beak & Skiff. Only service animals will be allowed entry. Service animals are defined as dogs that are individually trained to do work or perform tasks for people with disabilities. “Emotional support animals”, “comfort animals”, and “therapy dogs” are not classified as service animals under Title II and Title III of the The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA).

Syracuse Jazz Fest has an open-seating policy. Festival seating exists on a first come-first seated basis. Some seating will be provided, but please bring your own lawn chair(s). Thank you.
