Beaches International Jazz Festival

Every year jazz lovers in Toronto head to the Beaches. The Queen Street East between Woodbine and Victoria Park humms with the sounds of saxofones, trumpets, pianos, drums...
People walking down the streets and nodding their heads to the smooth tunes or just stroling down the beach and stoping over in a park with an entire orchestra playing classic or modern jazz and all of that goodness and joy and fun is all entirely free. Unless of course you stop over at a bar, take a seat on their patio and decide to order a drink with your Miles Davis. When you find yourself in Toronto in the last ten days of July, make sure to head over to the Beaches and enjoy the lake, the sand, funky shops, good restaurants, but most of all the great free jazz performed by some great musicians for free.
