From September 19-21, 2008, the fabulous Pender Harbour Jazz Festival will continue its great tradition of providing outstanding jazz music in the paradise setting of Pender Harbour.

The Pender Harbour Music Society is pleased to announce the appointment of Barry O'Hara as the new manager and artistic director of the Jazz Festival. The experience shared by former chair Monty Rolston and his committee over the last 11 years combined with the music and business talents of Barry O'Hara promise to make this event the best yet.

Look for a full slate of artists, venues and events. Invite your family and friends. There are plenty of available places to stay and there's lots to do, from artisan tours to nature walks to fine dining. You'll find it all in Pender Harbour. Discover the warm hospitality of this community.

For exceptional jazz and spectacular scenery, join us as we celebrate the 12th annual Pender Harbour Jazz Festival from September 19 - 21, 2008. Mark the Jazz Festival's website as a favourite so you can keep up to date with the artist line up and other events.
