Ottawa (Monday, April 6, 2020) – Subsequent to this morning’s release announcing continued exploration of our options with respect to Jazz 2020, The City of Ottawa just announced that it is extending “its closures of City facilities, services, and public gatherings until June 30th.” – CTV.ca. The ordinance forbids gatherings in groups until further notice. Given this new reality along with the cancellations of our many presenting partners, the Ottawa Jazz Festival has no choice but to cancel this year’s edition. Obviously, we deliver this news with a very heavy heart.
