Toronto is getting free live outdoor jazz shows all summer long

Music lovers, you’re in for a treat! A summer concert series with free live jazz shows is about to begin in Toronto.

The Distillery Historic District has announced that every weekend from now until Labour Day, visitors can enjoy free, live, outdoor jazz performances in Trinity Square.

The concert series will be “packed with a lineup of top jazz talent,” and is curated by Grammy award-winning Music Director Kevin Ray Clark.

The live shows will take place around the Distillery’s sprawling new outdoor patio, with 150 seats and towering palm trees to enhance the atmosphere.

Visitors can grab a tasty snack from the Trinity Eats food truck or cool down with a frozen treat from the paleta cart.
