Visitors to the destination will be astonished as every square inch of the town seems to resound with music. The ten-day event is traditional and reflects the talent of Vermont’s vast jazz community. The city comes alive with dazzling performances at intimate venues, parties, concerts by the waterfront, Lake Champlain cruises, master classes and workshops. Ideal for families, couples and singles alike, the festival is a fantastic destination for both committed jazz enthusiasts and those who simply wish to soak up the festival atmosphere while sampling a new type of music.
Acts who have performed at the festival include Sonny Rollins, Madeleine Peyroux, Jay Clayton and Sheila Jordan, to name just a few.

Everybody gets into the spirit, with local restaurants and clubs also joining in the fun with their own events.
