Ranked as the world’s largest jazz festival by the Guinness World Records, the Festival International de Jazz de Montréal has transformed, for the past 30 years, the metropolis in a venue where fans of all types of jazz-related music rub shoulders with aficionados of jazz in its purest form. For 11 days, the Festival hosts some 30 countries, 3,000 musicians and public entertainers, 800 concerts — two-third of which are free — and 600 activities, 15 concert halls, 8 outdoor stages and welcomes 2.5 million visitors, from noon to midnight! During those days, Montreal is without a doubt the true heartbeat of Planet Jazz!
