Jazz on the Plaza @BPAC

Jazz on the Plaza is an annual free concert series that showcases the work of emerging and established Canadian musicians in an al fresco setting. This August, come out to BPAC’s outdoor plaza, on the corner of Elgin and Locust Streets, to enjoy the lovely combination of summer weather and beautiful music by some of Canada’s finest artists. With performances of traditional jazz, Haitian soul and funk, Michael Bublé tributes, and more, Jazz on the Plaza offers professional-grade music for everyone and anyone.

BPAC has been pleased to present this beloved concert series to the community for free for the past ten years! We hope to see you there!
