Hey everyone! What we’d like to do this year is<br />
blow - no make that BLAST – our own horn!<br />
Why? Just because we want too! We’re sure our<br />
exuberance will please our returning and new<br />
audiences! Here are some “Season 28” stats<br />
as to why?<br />
TO THE<br />
<strong>2016</strong><br />
We’re hogging most of July because it’s taking place over<br />
four weekends<br />
We have over 110 bands and around 700 hours of music<br />
programming lined up for you – it’s live, it’s raw, it’s honest<br />
and it’s in the moment<br />
We’ve been named one of the top ten jazz festivals in the<br />
world – so you know you should be checking us out -<br />
in person<br />
We continue to be FREE, hosting close to one million<br />
attendees - now that’s one big party!<br />
We’re proudly and mainly Canadian with a tasty sprinkling of<br />
some amazing talent from our neighbours to the south, from<br />
the USA , Columbia, Cuba, Ecuador and even from<br />
down-under - as in Australia<br />
We have our usual impressive roster of both established and<br />
emerging artists and some special made-for-the Festival<br />
performances and events.<br />
