The Kensington Market Jazz Festival has over 80 shows with more than 100 Toronto artists including Micah Barnes, Billy Newton Davis, Andrew Craig, Measha Brueggergosman, Carol Welsman, Sophie Milman, Jane Bunnett, Robi Botos, Brandi Disterheft, Jim Cuddy and many more.

The festival will debut with nine venues, including Supermarket, The Boat, The Round, Handlebar, Trinity Common and Poetry Jazz Café over the course of the September 16 - 18 weekend.

The festival will not only celebrate Kensington Market and local jazz talent but fundraising will be placed for charities throughout the festival for The Boys & Girls Clubs of Canada and St. Stephen’s Community House. A festival t-shirt will feature the late great Archie Alleyne, with all money going towards his student scholarship fund.

Tickets range from $5 - $25. All events and merchandise will be accepting cash only at the door.
