Back by popular demand for more years than we can count, Johnny Summers brings his Little Big Band back to Jazz At The Lake for the ever-popular Swing Dance. Mixing classic swing tunes with a wide ranging repertoire of popular music, the dance floor is full all night!

Featured at last year's "Pubs & Clubs" event, the Overdue Blues Band has earned a spot on this year's main stage. Tracy Wells belts out the blues with her kickin' band, adding a touch of swing, rock and soul for good measure.

It is with great sadness that we announce the cancellation of Jazz At The Lake 2020.

As directed by Alberta’s Chief Medical Officer of Health, all summer festivals in the province are to be cancelled. This is especially disappointing as we felt this year’s lineup would be the best ever, and were so looking forward to the maiden voyage for the Town’s spectacular new mobile stage. We will miss seeing all of you this summer and greatly appreciate your continued support of the festival. Stay safe, stay healthy, this too shall pass. SEE YOU NEXT YEAR
