\u201cJazz in the Gardens celebrates its 15th Anniversary in 2020 and we are very excited. This year\u2019s festival has a stellar lineup of Grammy award winning artists. It is not only the city\u2019s signature event, but it\u2019s also how we say hello to the world as we draw thousands of people from all over to party with us.

Tickets are on sale now and can be purchased at ticketmaster.com and through the Ticketmaster Mobile App. Live Nation Urban and Live Nation Miami have signed on as partners to produce the festival.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are honored to partner with Mayor Gilbert and the City of Miami Gardens<\/a>on the 15th<\/sup>\u00a0anniversary of Jazz In The Gardens\u201d, said Brittany Flores, President of Live Nation \u2013 Miami, \u201cThe event is a 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.\u201d<\/p>\n

As the largest Black city in Florida, Miami Gardens is home to many renown residents. JITG is just three years younger than the city, which boasts over 113,000 residents.<\/p>\n

Since its inception, JITG has boasted some of the most iconic talent in the world. This year, the legendary Anita Baker made a stop at the festival as a part of her farewell tour. It\u2019s one of the reasons Shawn Gee, President of Live Nation Urban, said he was \u201cexcited\u201d to join the city as a partner this year.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs a manager, my clients have played this festival several times over the past decade\u201d\u00a0Gee said. \u201cWhen presented with the opportunity to work alongside the city to produce the event this year, I was super excited. 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\u201d.<\/p>\n

In addition to JITG, Miami Gardens is also home to Hard Rock Stadium, which is the future home of the Miami Dolphins training facility and Super Bowl 2020.<\/p>\n
