New York April Fools Day Event

Tomorrow at 12 noon, New York will begin its 24th annual April Fools Day parade down 5th Avenue. The April Fools Day parade starts at 5th Avenue and 59th street and continues all the way down to Union Square, where there is a big party with free peanut butter snacks. The parade exists because parade organizers feel most of us in New York fail to recognize the importance of April 1st, the day designated to commemorate the perennial folly of mankind.

A Bernie Madoff lookalike will be the Grandmaster of the event, followed by some floats of the infamous companies that have recently been in the news for destroying our economy.
I have been here 6 years and I've never heard of an April Fools Day Parade down 5th Avenue. I am skeptical, but don't let that stop you from attending.

No JVC Jazz Event this year

There will probably not be a JVC Jazz Festival New York Event this year, even though representatives from the Festival Network, who have produced the show for 2 consecutive years now , say "it's on!"

But, booking agents and promoters say the economy is taking a big chunk out of everyone's hiring artist budget. Carnegie Hall will definitely host a few jazz performances in June, which is when the JVC Jazz Festival New York Event is supposed to be happening. Most people in the "Jazz Know" believe that 2 weeks at Caregie will be the extent of the New York JVC Jazz Festival this year. Read an article about it here.
