The festival was first held in 1989, originally as the Jazz Winnipeg Festival, and is organised by Jazz Winnipeg Inc. from offices on Arthur Street in the Exchange District. Its free daily programming is concentrated in Old Market Square, in the middle of that historic district, which draws audiences from across the province at no charge.

Ticketed concerts are spread through rooms across the city, including the Fort Garry Hotel, and the 2026 edition programmed 50 artists from eight countries over its 35th anniversary run. Jazz Winnipeg presents concerts outside the festival window as well, so the June festival functions as the peak of a year-round presenting schedule.
