The Harbour Jazz Festival is back on the waterfront this weekend for the first time since 2024, with a lineup that leans heavily on local talent: 40 of the 60 acts are from the Avalon region.

“We wanted to show that the scene here never went away,” said festival director Marcus Hale. Tickets for Saturday night have sold out.
