Jazz Fest Was Here

Since 1985, Coastal Jazz has hosted thousands of live performances throughout Vancouver and the surrounding area. Our founders knew the best way to build an audience for jazz was to bring the music to the people. That meant from day one they staged shows everywhere – from intimate clubs and legendary theatres, to street corners and mall food courts.

While this map is not a complete picture of the Festival’s footprint, we hope it stirs up meaningful memories. We recognize we are beyond privileged to create art and community on the unceded, ancestral, stolen, and traditional territories of the xwməθkwəyəm (Musqueam), Sḵwxwú7mesh (Squamish) and Selílwitulh (Tsleil-Waututh) peoples.
