The first blues and jazz festival began in 2003. There was a small team of 5 volunteers who managed and organized a full-blown celebration over 3 days. An open concert which featured 2003 Juno Award winning headliner Jack DeKeyzer, and seven other talented blues and jazz musicians was done in Alexandra Park. The park had a beer garden, a farmers’ market and food and craft vendors. From the success of the first event, the festival started to grow and develop by the next year. In appreciation for the support and help of the generous town of Orangeville and the BIA as well as the sponsors, the event expanded the free concert in Alexandra Park to include Saturdays and Sundays. The support of the crew was so great that the team of 5 quickly grew to a group of 50 members.

With great food, amazing blues and jazz music, striking sights and friendly and welcoming people, this event will be the best music festival out there. Have fun with us as we celebrate three nights of great music at Downtown Orangeville. Be there and enjoy the 9^th annual Orangeville Blues and Jazz Festival.
