With a lineup of some of Canada's best jazz musicians playing in intimate settings surrounded by the natural coastal beauty of Powell River, BC, the Townsite Jazz Fest will get you in the groove.
It's that sweet spot, halfway through summer and BC festivals and events for August are sizzling with live music, fresh food, local art and all kinds of great creative experiences.
A 10-day festival that attracts over 300 musicians, who bring all genres of jazz, blues and worldbeat music to over 35,000 people throughout Victoria and surrounding area on Vancouver Island.
That old song had it all wrong when it said, "There ain't no cure for the summertime blues." They hadn't heard of the Summertime Blues Festival held annually in Nanaimo.
