The festival fee is $200. This cost to venues helps pay for: press conference, collateral materials, advertising (radio and print). Participants pay for programs they contract with. Administrative and other programming costs are not included in the festival fee (CBJC absorbs this expense). Promotions begin in late November. Brooklyn Tourism and Visitor's Center, an initiative of Brooklyn Borough President Marty Markowitz, is a major supporter of the Central Brooklyn Jazz Festival. The exposure Brooklyn venues get as a collective is greater than as an individual. The jazz presentation is selected and paid for by the each venue and ALL receipts go to that organization.
