Caramoor’s Summer Season is built for the listener who wants more than a single stage and a single sound. Running from June 20 to August 2, 2026, the season brings audiences together for over 30 performances, turning the estate into a living, breathing map of music—where discovery is part of the design.
One of the most immersive days on the calendar arrives in late July, when jazz takes over the grounds, and the entire property begins to swing.
Caramoor Jazz Festival runs on Saturday, July 25, 2026, from 12:30 pm–9:00 pm and is presented in collaboration with Jazz at Lincoln Center
This year’s lineup includes El Arte Del Bolero featuring Miguel Zenón & Luis Perdomo, bringing deep musicality and rich emotional colour to the day, alongside the Jazz at Lincoln Center Summer Jazz Academy Big Bands, spotlighting the next wave of talent with the kind of energy that reminds you why big band music still feels larger than life. With more artists to be announced, the full scope of the day is still expanding—but the promise is already clear: this is jazz as community, jazz as atmosphere, jazz as a shared language across the grounds.
As the sun begins to dip, the festival gathers everyone back together for a closing set designed to leave the audience buzzing. At 7:30 pm, Caramoor favourite Emmet Cohen Trio takes the stage for an evening performance that brings the festival to a thrilling close—tight, joyful, and alive with the kind of chemistry that turns a great day into an unforgettable one.
Tickets are available for purchase online at caramoor.org; by phone at 914.232.1252 Tuesdays through Fridays from 10:00 am to 4:00 pm; and on site from the Box Office two hours before each performance.
