About the SaskTel Saskatchewan Jazz Festival
For ten days each summer, the city of Saskatoon bursts into song as the SaskTel Saskatchewan Jazz Festival plays host to hundreds of world class artists. Over 85,000 hungry music fans devour the sounds of jazz, blues, funk, pop, and world music each year, with a program that spans as many genres as it does continents. The first festival took place in Saskatoon during the summer of 1987. Today it has become the second largest festival of its kind in Western Canada.
