Let the sun shine in: Super summer festivals in Vancouver

In June, Vancouver gets a dose of cool. That’s when jazz musicians, both local and international, descend on the city for 10 days of cool sounds, hot licks and loads of free jazz. Occupying venues all over the city, from Pat’s Pub to the Orpheum, emerging artists and acclaimed stars alike play for our listening pleasure. Check out the pedestrian-only Robson Square stage for daily free shows or drop a little cash for performers like John Scofield, Medeski, Martin and Wood, and local fave, Jill Barber.
