The HJS Jazz Calendar lists live jazz events taking place in Connecticut, primarily the Greater Hartford area, as well as central Massachusetts, and jazz festivals in nearby states.
Starting in September 2026, we’ve added the ability to submit your own events to the HJS Calendar. This is the quickest way for you to add events and gives you the most control over the content. After submitting your event, an HJS administrator will review the content and approve it for posting to the online calendar.
You may continue to email event information to us, however this is the slower of the 2 methods. Send new listings, corrections and comments to Calendar@HartfordJazzSociety.com. When submitting listings, please submit them using the format below, and include relevant links. Listings should be submitted at least two weeks before the event.
Please NOTE: the former email, jazzinct@yahoo.com is NO LONGER ACCEPTING calendar entry information.
