Montréal International Jazz festival. Free admission (for many concerts). June 26 to July 6. Worth staying for a few days … then on to Ottawa for Canada Day? The Friends of the Festival pass (it was $12 in 2007) gives access to late night jam sessions at the Hyatt hotel (in addition to a free compilation CD). The Jazz Festival musicians drop by to play with each other, and with locals (perhaps you?). This can make for an electrifying evening!
