Freihofer’s Saratoga Jazz Festival to return this summer | The Daily Gazette SECTIONS PHOTOGRAPHER: Shares0 Freihofer’s Saratoga Jazz Festival returns to the Saratoga Performing Arts Center from June 26-27 with in-person concerts by Dianne Reeves, Cécile McLorin Salvant, Christian McBride and others. The festival, which is co-hosted by Absolutely Live Entertainment, marks the first live performances that the venue will have hosted since the pandemic started in 2020. “Our Freihofer’s Saratoga Jazz Festival is always one of the most exhilarating and anticipated weekends of the year, kicking off our summer season. While this year’s festival will look a little bit different as a result of COVID-19 health and safety guidelines, the very fact that we will once again be able to join together on the SPAC grounds for live music feels absolutely miraculous,” said Elizabeth Sobol, president and CEO of SPAC. “Once again, we are grateful to Freihofer’s, which has been a generous and steadfast supporter of the festival for the past 24 years.”
