Halifax Jazz Festival

Lucky you if you already snagged festival passes because the much-anticipated Ms. Lauryn Hill is sold out (duh). The Halifax Jazz Festival is turning 30 this year and to celebrate you'll hear a mish-mash of soul, rock, funk and Latin jazz. Beat the blues, and grab those individual tickets before it's too late. Acts like Thundercat, City and Colour, Metric, Nile Rogers and the Preservation Hall Jazz Band will blow you away.
