Over the past 38 years, Halifax Jazz Festival has brought over 2,300 hours of free music to Halifax!

The work the organization does to keep music accessible and available in our city is year round, and we can't do it without the community's support.

Your support today fuels a vibrant future for arts and music in our community. As we rebuild from challenging years and adapt to economic pressures, your contribution directly supports financially accessible concerts, invaluable music education, career development, and the vital growth of a new generation of musicians and music lovers. Together, we are creating a resilient foundation for music to thrive, no matter the barriers.

JazzEast Rising Association is a registered Charity (BN 8888 19190 RR 0001) and as such, we can issue a charitable tax receipt for your donation.
