Originally founded in 2001, Port Hope Jazz has been a showcase for Canadian talent for over 15 years offering live Canadian music to the Port Hope Community as well as our visitors from across Ontario. After a brief hiatus, we re-launched in August 2022 and have a spectacular program planned August 22-25, 2024. Mark your calendar for the 4th weekend of August as our annual Port Hope Jazz event. This is made possible by the support of people like you. Music bonds our community together and we are excited to bring you this year’s excellent lineup of jazz talent. Thank you for your support.

We strive to be Canada's premier national Jazz Festival for celebration of diversity of Jazz arts excellence and to promote youth program development within a vibrant musical, economic and cultural atmosphere.
