Welcome artists and jazz lovers!

Along with our new website the Ottawa Jazz Festival has opened this new community resource page for players and fans alike to get the complete picture of what’s going on in Ottawa, where to play and much much more. We’ll be implementing a number of interactive features including a community calendar. Check back in the new year to keep in touch with the Ottawa Jazz Community.
