Wreckhouse International Jazz and Blues Festival

The Wreckhouse International Jazz & Blues Festival (formerly the St. John's Jazz Festival) was formed in April 2003 as a non-profit organization which strives to promote the enjoyment and appreciation of jazz, blues and world music in Newfoundland & Labrador. The first St. John's Jazz Festival was held in August of 2002 and was inspired by the success of the Hew Knoo Jazz Festival.
