The New Haven Green is the site of many free music concerts, especially during the summer months. These have included the [[New Haven Symphony Orchestra]], the July Free Concerts on the Green, and the [[New Haven Jazz Festival]] in August. The Jazz Festival, which began in 1982, is one of the longest-running free outdoor festivals in the U.S., until it was canceled for 2007. Headliners such as [[Dave Brubeck]], [[Ray Charles]] and [[Celia Cruz]] have historically drawn 30,000 to 50,000 fans, filling up the New Haven Green to capacity. The New Haven Jazz Festival was revived in 2008 and has been sponsored since by Jazz Haven.<ref>[http://jazzhaven.org/ Jazz Haven, Inc] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090929130628/http://www.jazzhaven.org/ |date=September 29, 2009 }}.
