In 2011, the United Nations Educational, Scientific, and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) officially designated April 30th as International Jazz Day to highlight jazz and its role in uniting people and communities across the globe. The goal of International Jazz Day Peterborough is to bring together our community, local businesses and jazz enthusiasts so that people can enjoy the diversity of the genre today! Our local celebration (in its sixth year) is one of hundreds of celebrations around the world.
