The city of Vancouver will be grooving and bopping with the sound of jazz when one of the world's most critically acclaimed jazz festival arrives. In four different venues, dozens of performers will light up Vancouver stages during this 10-day music festival.
This festival is made possible by the Coastal Jazz and Blues Society, a charitable arts organization. It is B.C.'s largest music provider and has produced several other festivals such as the Winterruption Festival on Granville Island.

The Victoria International Jazz Festival starts on the same day as Vancouver's Jazz Festival for those who are going to be on the island during the event. Check out the Festival Page to find out more.
