It is with great sadness that we must announce the cancellation of the 29th Annual Kaslo Jazz Etc. Festival to be held this summer. This isn't a decision our team wanted to make and we wish we could bring you all more positive news, but in light of COVID-19 we do believe this is in the best interest of our organization and broad community to make the decision now and focus our sights on returning in 2022. TICKET INFO: If you purchased a ticket for the 2020 festival, you will... be receiving a message through our ticketing company regarding your order next week. Please keep an eye out for that email and follow the instructions! Through these challenging times - it's so important that we all continue to support the arts, culture and tourism however we can! It is also incredibly important to keep our industry alive and able to return in the future. We will continue to reimagine ways to bring beauty and art to your lives, but many artists, venues and organizations are struggling right now and we ask that you please buy merch and donate to the arts and culture in your area if you are able. It is so greatly important. Team Kaslo

Festival look so good! This is the 5th year Sijay has been in charge of our graphic design and he has always handled our last minute projects, edits, decisions and content with such professionalism!
