Festival

The Jazz Sudbury Festival is a major Canadian jazz festival taking place annually on the second weekend of September. The festival features numerous stages, after-hours venues, great vendors, and world-class musical talent.

Cabaret

With three successful years under its belt, Cabaret has established itself as a not-to-be-missed event. Cabaret is a dinner / concert that kicks off the Jazz Sudbury season. Live music has featured the Nickel City Dixie Stompers and Slag Heap Love.

Online Talent Search

Run in conjunction with the Jazz Sudbury Festival, the Online Talent Search seeks to find Northern Ontario’s best up-and-coming jazz musicians. Musicians upload videos, which are narrowed down to three finalists by a panel of celebrity judges. The three remaining videos are then entered into a public vote to determine the winner of the contest. All three finalists perform on the main stage of the Jazz Sudbury Festival, with the winner receiving $500 and the Sigy Born award, named after a local jazz pioneer.
