The Jazz Festival
Our friends at Montreal-Clubs have put together a little list of shows to be seen at the Jazz Fest, which by the way, is starting tonight, with what will be a huge performance by Stevie Wonder. Like every summer, the area around Place des Arts will be transform for about ten days into a giant outdoors concert venue.
Nothing beats Montreal’s Jazz Fest for spending a damp summer night outside, and dancing, all this for free. Obviously, it’s all paid by advertisements, and considering their main sponsor, GM, is bankrupt, that puts a pretty funny spin on the whole event. But anyways, that’s not that important in the grand scheme of things. The goal is to enjoy ourselves, so I recommend checking out the official web page of the festival, and hitting it as often as possible.
Here is a short video from Goran Bregovic’s amazing festival closing show a few years ago. It was just crazy.
