The summer festival, held 25 to 28 June in 2026, is built around the wineries and outdoor settings of Niagara-on-the-Lake, with strands such as Jazz in the Vineyard at The Hare Wine Co. and Reif Estate Winery, a jazz crawl through pop-up locations, and a closing Jazz in the Park day. A separate World Music on the Beach event runs in early July at Lakeside Park in Port Dalhousie, launching from downtown St. Catharines.
Unlike most festivals on this list the organisation programmes throughout the year rather than only in festival week. Its off-season events run at Helliwell Hall and the FirstOntario Performing Arts Centre on St. Paul Street in St. Catharines, and include a Secret Salon Series at undisclosed locations announced to ticket holders shortly before each date.
