The Montreal Jazz Festival is one of the most important music festivals in the world, and is in fact the largest jazz festival on earth. The annual summer festival is the perfect opportunity to enjoy one of the most beautiful sites in Canada, and witness enough musical talent for the whole year.
For out-of-towners researching holidays in Canada, history-rich Montreal is the best choice for all your summer music festivals, great restaurants, and gorgeous architecture.
Forty percent of the Montreal Jazz Festivals' sponsorship comes from corporate sponsors, tagging the stages with names deriving from everything from beer companies to mining companies. Indeed, some people are remarking on the festival's shift from the world of music festivals to the realm of corporate events. Further, some critics have noted how every year, the festival becomes more and more musically eclectic, in an effort to draw larger crowds with differing interests.
In spite of these observations however, it cannot be denied that there are very few occasions where so many different kinds of people can enjoy themselves unforgettably.
