| - The Beaches International Jazz Festival is a month-long music festival held each year in the lakeside Beaches community of Toronto in July. Originally started in 1989, it is now one of Canada's largest free jazz festivals with nearly 1,000,000 attendees, throughout its month-long span. The Festival takes place across a number of venues; stage concerts are held in several different parks within the area and also along a two kilometre stretch of the Beach mainstreet during StreetFest - Queen Street East. Every year, the Festival brings in internationally acclaimed jazz performers while also showcasing local talent, including "new generation" jazz musicians. The Festival now hires around 1000 artists per annum, including 50 bands for its "StreetFest" event along Queen Street East. The Festival offers concerts at various locations: the Woodbine Park Main Stage, Jimmie Simpson Park Main Stage, Big Band Stage, SING! A capella Stage . The Festival holds a Workshop and Lecture Series which varies each year and is programmed to appeal to both professional musicians and to the general jazz loving public. BIJF garners much community support because of the community events that it supports. These include: a "Jazz-Up Your Windows" Beach BIA - BIJF jointly sponsored contest for local retailers; and multiple fundraising opportunities for local charities such as the "Beaches Jazz Tune-Up Run" on behalf of the Beach Rotary Club, Community Centre 55 and the Michael Garron Hospital. The Festival attracts around one million attendees per Festival season. The BIJF benefits the local economy, injecting over $30 million into the GTA. Although the festival is funded by the province's Ministry of Tourism and Culture, funding is also sourced from community donations. In November 2013, the Government of Canada donated $200,000 as part of the Department of Canadian Heritage funding program. (en)
- Le Beaches International Jazz Festival (BIJF) est un festival de jazz qui se déroule durant dix jours à Beaches, un quartier de Toronto au Canada, tous les ans au mois de juillet. La première édition a eu lieu en 1988. Il s'agit de l'un des plus grands festivals de jazz gratuits du Canada, avec environ 800 000 visiteurs sur dix jours. Le festival se déroule dans différentes salles de concert à travers la ville, ainsi que dans plusieurs parcs publics et le long de Queen Street East, qui longe la plage sur deux kilomètres. Il comporte six scènes principales : la grande scène des Kew Gardens ; le Latin Square et des scènes réservées aux big bands (également dans les Kew Gardens) ; la scène du parc Woodbine ; et des scènes-tremplin pour de nouveaux groupes. Chaque année, le festival de Beaches rassemble des grands noms du jazz et de jeunes talents locaux, dont des musiciens de jazz « nouvelle génération ». Plus de mille artistes s'y produisent, dont cinquante groupes rien que dans le cadre de la Street Fest, le long de Queen Street East. En outre, une librairie consacrée au jazz est installée au sein du festival et organise des séances de lecture destinées au public et aux musiciens. Le financement du BIJF est en grande partie public, grâce aux subventions du Ministère du tourisme et de la culture de la province d'Ontario, mais comprend également des donations communautaires. En novembre 2011, le Gouvernement du Canada a effectué une subvention de 200 000 dollars canadiens au titre d'un programme de financement conduit par Patrimoine Canada. (fr)
