Montreal Jazz Festival

The Montreal International Jazz Festival (MIJF, also called the Jazz Fest, the official name in French Festival International de Jazz de Montréal (FIJM)) is the largest jazz festival in the world. It is held annually in Montreal, Quebec during the summer season (usually the beginning of July) and gathers artists from around the world. It is typically attended by over 2 million people who are attracted by the electric atmosphere, diversity of shows and by the city itself. Many parts of the city's downtown core are closed to traffic for two weeks as outdoor shows are free to the public on many stages. Attendance to some shows is over 100,000.
