TD Ottawa Jazz Festival

Spanning all genres and inspirations of jazz, diverse cultures, traditions and an array of styles that covers the spectrum from pop, rock to lush harmonies, the Ottawa Jazz Festival (from June 21 – 30) has been a trailblazer for more than 40 years. As the only outdoor music festival with a grand presence in the city’s downtown core, the Festival highlights consummate, celebrated and diverse artists with international reputations, as well as, new and emerging talent. Set against the stunning backdrop of downtown Ottawa at Confederation Park, Ottawa City Hall, and the National Arts Centre, audiences have a selection from ticketed and free shows.

Confederation Park is the site of the Main Stage, the OLG Stage is at Marion Dewar Plaza in front of Ottawa City Hall, the Fourth Stage and Azrieli Studio are at the National Arts Centre (NAC); and Grill 41 at the Lord Elgin Hotel site of the Late Night Jamming Series.
