Exit Zero Jazz Festival

The Exit Zero Jazz Festival is an biannual jazz festival held each spring and each fall in Cape May, New Jersey. Each installment typically runs for three days.[1] Headliners perform on one of the two main stages, often at the Cape May Convention Hall, and additional performances take place in the bars and restaurants in Cape May.[2] The non-profit Cape May Jazz Festival Foundation operates the festival. New Orleans-style second line parades are typically part of the event.[3][4][5]
