About Exit Zero Jazz Festival Grounds

Welcome to Exit Zero Jazz Festival Grounds, the outdoor festival space at Ferry Park adjacent to the Cape May Ferry Terminal in North Cape May, New Jersey. The venue hosts vibrant daytime jazz performances on festival days, with gates opening around 11:00am and music typically scheduled from 11:00am to 7:00pm. Formerly the Cape May ferry terminal grounds, this space was rebranded as Exit Zero Ferry Park when Exit Zero took over operations and renovated the area. It’s a go-to spot for a full day of live jazz in a scenic coastal setting.

Whether you’re a dedicated jazz aficionado or a casual festivalgoer, we’ve got you covered with practical details on seating, parking, transit, and nearby accommodations and dining options to help you secure your tickets and plan your visit.

Seating options: The festival grounds offer VIP reserved seating in dedicated sections for an enhanced experience. General admission attendees may bring camp or beach chairs to enjoy the day. Please note that outside food and alcohol are not permitted on the grounds, so plan accordingly. If you’re looking for a comfortable vantage point without the VIP upgrade, arrive early to claim good sightlines from the general area.

Parking: On-site parking is available at the festival grounds, making a car-friendly visit straightforward and convenient for fans traveling from nearby towns or across New Jersey.

Transportation: Seasonal Cape May Shuttle provides direct service to town on festival days, connecting you to dining, shopping, and additional venues. The Cape May Bus Terminal (NJ Transit) is nearby for train connections, and ferries offer access through the Cape May–Lewes Ferry, linking you to Delaware and beyond. If you’re planning travel, consider combining ferry or bus routes with a short stroll to the gates for a smoother experience.

Nearby hotels and dining: Cape May is home to several hotel partners perfect for a festival weekend, including Congress Hall, The Virginia, The Star, and The Sandpiper, all within easy reach of Ferry Park. Other accommodations like Montreal Beach Resort, The Camelot, Victorian Cape May, and Hotel Icona provide additional stays with Atlantic coastal charm.
