Nanaimo International Jazz Festival

Favourites happening again this year are the Friday night Jazz & Swing Dance featuring the NMA Band and Saturday afternoon’s New Orleans-style secondline parade starting off in the Old City Quarter – both of which you don’t want to miss!

Traveling all the way from New York City is the Charles Mingus Dynasty Quintet to headline the Festival’s main attraction at the Port Theatre Saturday night.

Kicking off Sunday morning’s program is the Freedom Gospel Choir featuring Shalema Gantt.
