Keep the Music Playing
For 46 years the Ottawa Jazz Festival has brought our city together through the power of live music.
Today we are asking our community to help write its next chapter.
The Festival faces significant financial pressures. Rising production costs and an increasingly challenging funding environment have made it clear that we need to evolve.
And that’s exactly what we’re doing. We have reimagined how the Festival operates to make it financially sustainable, while preserving what you love.
But we can’t do it alone.
The community institutions that make live music possible cannot rely on ticket sales alone. With your help we will continue to provide Ottawa with extraordinary musical experiences for generations to come.
