It’s not a joke… more than 1000 concerts and activities await fans at the 32nd edition of the Festival International de Jazz de Montréal from June 25 to July 4.
It’s an impressive free outdoor program in the heart of a city in tune with jazz, blues and world music, including a musical park for children, concerts, activities and entertainment, every day, from noon to midnight.

The Special Electro-Jazz Event with Misteur Valaire;
- Monday, July 4
The TD Grand Closing Event in collaboration with XM Canada starring legendary party band The B‑52s. The party is presented at the Place des Festivals!
