Jazz Festivals Canada extends a warm welcome to newest member, the Prince Edward County Jazz Festival, which is celebrating its 25th season!
The Prince Edward County Jazz Festival celebrates 25 years of excellence in jazz performance and music education. The Jazz Festival has grown from a small annual August festival in Picton, Ontario to a multi-faceted Incorporated Charitable Organization. With a year-round presence, the PEC Jazz Festival: offers high quality performances throughout The County and beyond; provides diverse opportunities for young musicians to learn and perform with experienced mentors; supports a PEC Jazz Ensemble; provides live streaming of performances, lectures, clinics and other promotional and educational initiatives.
The Prince Edward County Jazz Festival is delighted to join the broader Canadian jazz festival community. This unique boutique jazz festival plans to grow in size over the next few years, and to expand its outreach and youth education programs. Joining JFC will give access to the wisdom and lessons learned from the breadth of jazz festivals across the county. Season 25 kicks off on August 12, 2025.
