Prince Edward County Jazz Festival

Six days of jazz in August, spread from the Regent Theatre stage to winery lawns and a cemetery. One of the few County festivals that already has next year's dates up.

What it is

Main-stage concerts at the Regent Theatre in Picton alongside smaller shows at wineries, hotels and some genuinely unusual venues.

Past venues have included Huff Estates, Sandbanks, Closson Chase, Exultet Estate, The Grange and Stanners Vineyard, as well as Picton Town Hall, the Royal Hotel and Glenwood Cemetery.

It draws local players alongside touring Canadian and international artists.

Good to know

  • Regent Theatre performances are ticketed through the theatre's own box office rather than the festival.
  • The winery shows are the ones that sell out first. They are small rooms.

Fitting it round a tasting day

Several concerts are at wineries, so the tasting and the music are the same trip.
