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]
Performers have included Dianne Reeves, Meshell Ndegeocello, Wynton Marsalis, Pat Metheny, Chick Corea, Charles Lloyd, the Vijay Iyer Trio, Branford Marsalis, Gabrielle Cavassa, Matthew Whitaker and others.[6]
