Tri-C JazzFest Seeking Festival Volunteers

Applications will be accepted online through July 26

Help Cleveland’s hottest music festival hit all the right notes by volunteering this summer during the 42nd annual Tri-C JazzFest Cleveland, presented by KeyBank.

Applications will be accepted online at tri-c.edu/jazzfest/get-involved through Monday, July 26. The online form asks for basic information to align the skills of the individual with the tasks at hand.

Volunteer responsibilities include everything from distributing materials and working backstage to assisting with guest artists. Training may be required for some positions.

All volunteers — new and returning — must complete the application.

“Volunteers are an important part of our festival,” said Terri Pontremoli, director of Tri-C JazzFest. “We’re looking forward to seeing new and familiar faces and supporting the music we all love so much.”

Tri-C JazzFest runs Sept. 11 and 12 at Cain Park. The two-day festival includes 10 concerts under the covered Evans Amphitheater plus vendors and food.

The 2021 lineup includes Banda Magda, Christian Sands, Emmet Cohen, Samara Joy, Catherine Russell, Spanish Harlem Orchestra and many others. Visit tri-cjazzfest.com for the full lineup and schedule of shows.

Passes, sold by day, are available through ticketmaster.com or by calling 216-371-3000. Reserved passes are tiered, available for $50, $65, $75 and $100. Lawn seating is $35.

Tri-C JazzFest Cleveland is made possible by Cuyahoga Community College, KeyBank, the National Endowment for the Arts, the Ohio Arts Council, The George Gund Foundation, Strassman Insurance Services Inc., and a growing list of donors and vendors. Cain Park is owned and operated by the City of Cleveland Heights.
