Beaches International Jazz Festival is approaching quickly in Toronto, and the 2025 rendition is slated to be as amazing (if not more) than the years before. The fest draws in visitors from the city and beyond, and we now know the lineup for the free event, which runs from July 4 to 27.
If you didn’t know, the Beaches International Jazz Festival brings international and local musical talent to Woodbine Park, Jimmie Simpson Park, and Queen Street East for an epic (almost) month-long celebration. While the name suggests just jazz music, that couldn’t be further from the truth. Guests will be able to enjoy the sounds of salsa, disco, indie, funk, blues, hip hop, house, ska and rock (just to name a few).
