Ottawa Jazz Festival Announces Reimagined 2026 Full Festival Passes
We’ve redesigned the pass experience from the lawn up for 2026! Our new full festival passes accommodate shifts in our patrons preferences and set the festival up for a bright future. We’ve listened to customer feedback and redesigned all of our tickets and passes to both streamline our ticketing process and make better use of our festival grounds.
A Newly Enhanced Premium Lounge Experience
Our newly enhanced covered Premium Lounge area (formerly the Gold Circle Tent) will feature an elevated experience with new flexible seating options (standard chairs, standing room, and cocktail tables) all in a warm, lounge-inspired atmosphere. Enjoy an expanded bar offering with a full wine menu, freshly made artisanal cocktails, and all of your festival favourite ciders and beers.
A Reimagined Premium Pass with Guaranteed NAC Access
The demand for seats at the National Arts Centre has been unprecedented the past few years, and we’ve made changes to better accommodate this. More single tickets will be made available, and select shows will now offer advance seat selection for a more intimate experience with the artists.
