Membership Appreciation
 
The Medicine Hat JazzFest is about family fun, dance parties, world-class artists, late night grooving, sunny patios and corner pubs. It's about dancing on a parking garage and in an airport hangar! It's about connecting with friends and family and meeting new people.  It's the 21st anniversary and JazzFest is celebrating! As winner of the 2010 and 2015 Medicine Hat Chamber of Commerce Tourism Award of Distinction and the 2016 Alberta Business award in Arts and Culture, JazzFest's reputation just keeps spreading! From June 18-25 JazzFest will be presenting many of the same artists that are appearing at Jazz Festivals from Vancouver to Montreal.  With acts like world-renowned guitarist Kurt Rosenwinkel and child prodigy turned next generation jazz giant Matt Savage. JazzFest combines a big city bang with small town charm. And the result is drawing return fans from across Alberta and Saskatchewan and the rest of Canada.  Passes offer over $375 worth of tickets for $149.

Full details can be found here. Tickets and passes are available through all Esplanade ticket outlets including tixx.ca So this June, why not see what all the buzz is about! Give it a try. We think you'll dig it!
