Vancouver International Jazz Festival June 26 - July 5

Wednesday June 24, 2009

It's that time of year again--Vancouver International Jazz Festival time!

Called the “best jazz festival in the world” by The Seattle Times, the Jazz Fest is one of Vancouver's seminal events. This year’s festival includes 1800 musicians and 400 concerts, at 40 venues across the city, and features such star performers as Sonny Rollins, Pink Martini and Orchestra, and The David Sanborn Group.

Many of the Festival's concerts are free--and they are happening everywhere--so there's no excuse to miss out. Get information on artists, venues and dates at the official site.
