An Extra Day Added to the 46th Ottawa Jazz Festival!

There’s even more music to look forward to this summer!

The Ottawa Jazz Festival has added an extra day of programming on June 18, 2026, to bring you even more live music in the heart of Downtown Ottawa. This extra day of music is thanks to the generous support of Ottawa Tourism. This expansion allows the festival to further boost our city's vibrant cultural scene and welcome even more visitors to the downtown core.

Headlining on June 18th is Grammy Award-winning artist Wyclef Jean, whose global influence spans hip-hop, R&B, and popular music. He is joined by the JUNO-winning, introspective storyteller TOBi alongside the genre-defying Ottawa collective BLAKDENIM and the raw, experimental soundscapes of rising artist 646yf4t (Babyfat).
