    One of the most important music festivals in the world, and probably the most important in Canada, the Montreal International Jazz Festival, celebrates its 44th edition in 2024, from Thursday, June 27 to Saturday, July 6.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    The first edition of the festival was held in 1980<\/strong> on \u00cele-Sainte-H\u00e9l\u00e8ne, with a total of 12,000 jazz lovers attending to enjoy performances by Chick Corea, Gary Burton, Vic Vogel and the legendary Ray Charles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Two years later, the festival became an autonomous non-profit organization and moved its headquarters to Saint-Denis Street. In 1986, the festival presented its first major free event<\/strong> and a line-up of over 1,000 musicians.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    In 1988, the Montreal International Jazz Festival was established at Place des Arts<\/strong>, the cultural heart of the city. The following year, it attracted 1 million visitors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    In 2001, the festival introduced the musical cycle: Jazz all year round<\/strong>. In 2004, the festival reached 2 million visitors, and in its 25th edition, it entered the Guinness World Records as the largest jazz festival in the world<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    In 2009, La Place des Festivals, the new epicentre of the event, was inaugurated. At the same time, the FIJM opened La Masion du Festival de Jazz, an organisation in the heart of the Quartier des Spectacles, the city’s cultural district.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    After several successful editions, in 2020 the festival is being held in a 100% digital format due to the global Covid-19 pandemic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    In 2022, a new space will be added to the festival on the Place des Arts esplanade, Le Club Montr\u00e9al TD<\/strong>, with open-air concerts, lights, and a relaxed urban atmosphere.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
