The Ottawa International Jazz Festival wrapped up last night, and while attendance numbers aren’t in yet, organizers said signs point to this being one of the best festivals ever.

In 2008, the festival attracted 180,000 people and an additional 72,000 on Canada Day.

This year the festival is set to break that record.

“Festival passes and student passes are up this year, and on Canada Day, we had a record attendance,” said festival spokeswoman Suzan Zilahi.
