Claimed to be the world’s largest jazz festival, Montreal Jazz Festival has brought some of the best jazz acts to Canada for over 40 years. Spanning over 10 days, the festival includes free outdoor concerts at both indoor/outdoor venues. Because of its location in French-speaking Montreal, the festival maintains strong ties to France and features French artists along with a diverse lineup of jazz acts from across North America.
In Quebec, a vaccine passport is required to access many businesses and activities deemed non-essential, including outdoor festivals, restaurants, bars, and sporting events.
