BLUES & JAZZ FESTIVALS JANUARY | FEBRUARY | MARCH | APRIL | MAY | JUNE | JULY | AUGUST | SEPTEMBER | OCTOBER | NOVEMBER | DECEMBER The dates for many festivals seem to fluctuate each year. Keeping this area accurate & current has become too labour intensive, so I have just listed them by month. For exact dates and more information, see each festival's website. This page is a work in progress, so if you know of any festivals that you feel should be listed, or if you have updates, please submit the information. Thank you for your help and support. ~Jody Glanzer aka. Hypr_chik.
