JazzEast’s 30k in 30 days Indiegogo campaign has an altruistic goal—to make the ever-popular evening Festival Tent Mainstage concerts during the Halifax Jazz Festival free to the public. “In 2012 we hosted two free evening concerts; in 2013 that number grew to three. Droves of people came out to these concerts. We don’t want to limit this experience to just a few nights of the jazz festival—our long term goal is to see this happening every night at the Festival Tent,” says JazzEast marketing manager Siobhan Wiggins. The campaign ends Friday, October 18, and, let’s face it, you really love donating to those things. You get to see the number go up! It’s so satisfying! Plus there are cool incentives like gala tickets, shoutouts on the Mainstage and JazzEast memberships.
