Halifax Jazz Festival
The TD Halifax Jazz Festival, formerly known as the Atlantic Jazz Festival, is the oldest jazz festival and largest summer festival in Atlantic Canada, being held annually since 1987. Designated a Hallmark Event by the Halifax Regional Municipality, the event spans two weekends (9 nights, 8 days), attracts up to 55,000 visitors, involves 450 volunteers and employs over 350 local musicians.
Core programming includes jazz music, complemented with presentations of world, roots, blues, Latin, R&B, and other music styles. Since 2023, locations of performances included the TD Main Stage, St. Matthew's United Church, and The Carleton. While paid passes and tickets to individual shows are available, the festival always includes a host of free programming during the day. 
The festival includes the Halifax Jazz Festivals Music Education Program. These programs include Jazz Labs, which are free events for the public, and the Creative Music Workshop, an eight-day intensive program which provides students with instruction on skills like performing improvisational jazz.
