The Beaches - International Jazz Festival

StreetFest is a Beaches International Jazz Festival original event showcasing the finest in Big Band, Swing, Dixieland, Smooth, Post-Bop, Afro-Cuban, Fusion, Funk, R&B and Soul sounds that Canada has to offer. Upwards of 50 bands entertain you along a closed 2 km stretch of Queen Street East! It's an annual 3-afternoon into evening pilgrammage for close to a million folks who come out to groove to the music and soak in the ambience.

And so Kai and me did...It´s not really comparable to events in Hamburg... we never attend in events like this ...with so many bands, who were playing directly on the street without a stage. (like the street musicians who are asking for money usually do it) The quality of the band was surprisingly good!!!
