The Beaches International Jazz Festival 2026
The 38th annual Beaches International Jazz Festival returns!
This month-long music festival is held each year in the lakeside Beaches community of Toronto, and this year we're putting on quite the show from July 3 to July 26.
The Festival takes place across a number of venues; stage concerts are held in several different parks within the area and also along a two-kilometer stretch of the Beach main street during StreetFest - Queen Street East.
Every year, the Festival brings in internationally acclaimed jazz performers while also showcasing local talent, including "new generation" jazz musicians.
The Festival offers concerts at various locations: the Woodbine Park Main Stage, Jimmie Simpson Park Main Stage and Big Band Stage.
The Festival holds a Workshop and Lecture Series which varies each year and is programmed to appeal to both professional musicians and to the general jazz loving public.
