On March 11, 2020, at 10:48 PM, I signed a local state of emergency for the City of Miami Gardens due to Coronavirus (COVID-19).

While I know our Residents and patrons of Jazz are disappointed, our decision was made with them in mind.

We will be updating the Jazz in the Gardens website, www.jazzinthegardens.com, with information regarding rescheduling.
