There are over 150 free shows at the Vancouver International Jazz Festival 2019
FEATURED ON THE LISTED GUIDE
If you’re broke this summer, you don’t need to get bummed out.
The TD Vancouver International Jazz Festival is back again this year to provide good vibes and summer fun with over 150 free shows downtown, at David Lam Park, and on Granville Island for three weekends.
And for those who are willing to splurge on some groovin’ jams, you can check out the programming and purchase tickets online.
The annual jazz fest’s mission is to bring the latest and greatest music to the city, encourage an appreciation of the music they present, and help to uplift the arts community in Vancouver.
Artists are featured from all over the world and right from our backyard. The programming doesn’t stop at jazz either, the organizers are always trying to push the boundaries of what belongs within the category of ‘jazz’. This year they’ve invited hip-hop bands Wu-Tang Clan and The Roots.
