Where is the festival located this year?

Our biggest stage is our festival tent and it is located on the Halifax waterfront.  The exact location is Salter Block, the parking lot located on Lower Water Street at the corner of Salter Street, in between the Waterfront Warehouse Restaurant and Bishop's Landing and across the original Farmer's Market/ Alexander Keith's Brewery Market. In addition to our big stage, we have many other venues around town.

What is a partnered stage ?

A partnered stage is not an official festival stage, however they are friends we are proud to support. This year's partnered stages include: Bearly's House of Blues & Ribs, Elephant & Castle, Jamieson's Irish House & Grill, Pipa Restaurant, The Press Gang Restaurant & Oyster Bar, and Stayner's Wharf Pub & Grill.

When can I find out who is coming to the festival this year?

Some of the artists are already announced, and the full line-up is coming May 31, 2012. http://halifaxjazzfestival.ca/schedule-grid

I hear that individuals can sponsor a show.  How can I get involved?

JazzEast runs a Patron of the Arts Program.  It is a new program where an individual who is excited about a certain concert can become the Patron of that show by donating an agreed upon percentage of the artist fee.  In return, the Patron receives a charitable tax receipt for the full amount of the donation, VIP seating (good position and early arrival access), a chance to meet the artist, her/his name in the festival's program guide and website (if desired), and complimentary tickets for friends.  The Patron becomes a Medici of the modern times!  Call 902 492 0311 and speak with Heather Gibson to learn more.

How do I apply to perform?

We are always happy to receive applications, we do have a seasonal deadline. Find out more here: http://jazzeast.com/artist-submissions
