Kaslo Jazz Etc. Festival

Big Mountains. Small Village. Floating Stage. All weekend long, world-class musicians perform against our breathtaking backdrop of mountains and sky.

This intimate and laid-back world-class festival has been hosting big names and newly discovered gems of the music business since 1992. This year, the Kaslo Jazz Etc Festival will once again make use of the astounding acoustics of Kaslo Bay Park to showcase an array of blues, jazz, latin, folk and world music. Our unique floating stage transforms Kaslo Bay Park into a natural green amphitheater an

d sends live music reverberating out over Kootenay Lake. Selected as one of the “Top ten places to get out doors and be in tune,” by USA Today in 2007, and one of the “Top 10 places to enjoy outdoor summer music” by REUTERS in 2013, the Kaslo Bay floating stage has been recognized as one of the premier outdoor music venues in the world. Festival goers dance in the sand, swim around the stage, or relax in the grass and enjoy the delicious offerings of local food and drink vendors. The intimate, laid-back vibe of this festival seduces audiences and performers alike, so come discover the magic, and "Get Real" in the Kootenays this summer.

Let’s keep the vibe alive! 🎶

This August Long Weekend, the Kaslo Block Party brings music, community, and festival spirit back into the village with events across local venues from July 31 to August 2.

Expect live music, workshops, community gatherings, late-night sets, and fundraising events supporting the future of the Kaslo Jazz Etc. Society.

This year may look different, but our spirit lives on: live music in Kaslo and a community push to rebuild toward a sustainable festival for the future!

Please see the attached graphics for a message from our Board of Directors.

We’ve done everything we can to carry on with planning a 2026 festival. However, given our financial situation and the rising costs to produce festivals, we must take a pause and reimagine what we do, how we do it, and how to make it sustainable for the next generation. Unfortunately, there will not be a three day Kaslo Jazz Etc Festival this summer in Kaslo Bay Park. We still intend to produce events throughout 2026 and beyond, but we need a bit more time to determine what that looks like. We thank you from the bottom of our hearts for 33 years of amazing memories, and apologize to anyone who was planning on attending Kaslo Jazz this year. If you bought your early bird tickets already - we’ll be in touch soon.
