PEC Jazz Fest

Since 2001, the Prince Edward County Jazz Festival has been bringing together top jazz musicians, from local talent to international stars in our beautiful wine-country setting. The event has gained a reputation as the true jazz-lover’s festival, with programming that ranges from classic to cutting edge modern and everything in between.
In 2019, the Festival expanded its youth education programs with the creation of the Prince Edward County Jazz Festival Youth Ensemble (PECJYE). The PECYJE will provide outstanding high school musicians the opportunity to further develop their musicianship through rehearsing and performing in a small jazz ensemble.
The 2021 Festival has a dozen Covid-safe shows lined up at three different venues over five days beginning August 18. The program features top artists and a traveling jazz van to make sure the music gets around. Signature ticketed shows include the funky horn band Big Smoke Brass at Huff Estates on Friday August 20, and a trio show featuring pianist John Sherwood with Brian Barlow and Scott Alexander at Waring Hall on Sunday August 22 with special guest Emily Steinwall.
August 18-22, 2021
