WORK WITH US
The Halifax Jazz Festival, formerly known as the Atlantic Jazz Festival, is the oldest jazz festival and largest summer festival in Nova Scotia. Designated a Hallmark Event by the Halifax Regional Municipality, the festival attracts up to 55,000 visitors, involves several hundred volunteers and employs over 350 local musicians.
Our mandate runs from the promotion and presentation of the annual TD Halifax Jazz festival to soft-seat concerts, club shows and educational workshops (such as the renowned Creative Music Workshop). We develop opportunities for aspiring and established musicians, those employed in the creative economy, and the local "jazz aristocracy". We bring renowned performers from many parts of the world to a city that doesn't always find itself naturally on the maps for touring artists. In brief, we think music, especially jazz is important to the vibrant culture we have, and we want to make sure that the foundations of jazz culture remain strong in Halifax.
