No return on investments in the past makes it harder to get funding in the future for necessary pieces of the puzzle: headliners, staging and equipment, according to the board.

For these reasons, Main Street’s Executive Board decided to no longer organize the event. They noted their gratitude to everyone who helped make JazzFest a prominent part of the community in years past and expressed a desire for the community’s love for jazz to endure.

“With the support and love from our community for the student jazz performers in our schools, the legacy of jazz will continue to move forward despite this event not occurring on the downtown square,” the Board wrote.

Main Street emphasized that it will support anyone who takes over the festival.
