The TD Victoria International JazzFest (formerly known as JazzFest International), is a ten-day music festival featuring the jazz, blues and world music of local, Canadian, and internationally acclaimed musicians. The “grandfather” of music festivals serving audiences on Vancouver Island and the Gulf Islands, TD JazzFest offers its devoted audience a wide scope of programming comparable to much larger festivals in significantly larger urban areas.

As well as TD Victoria International JazzFest, the Victoria Jazz Society (VJS) also presents a second annual music festival traditionally held at the end of August This festival, the Harbour Blues 'n Roots Festival (formerly Vancouver Island Blues Bash), features blues and R&B artists/bands in both free and paid admission performances, taking place over two afternoons and three nights.

In addition to its two music festivals, the VJS also presents a Fall/Winter/Spring Concert Series, an annual September to April concert season of presentations featuring local, national and international artists. Throughout each year the VJS facilitates a number of Workshop/Clinics with touring artists for the benefit and development of local music students and the general public at no cost to the attendees.
