2024 Music Schedule
For more than a decade, Fairport Canal Days has featured the Rochester region’s very best jazz musicians as well as a wonderful mix of music and talent rarely found at other festivals. On our five stages you’ll hear over 60 groups perform over the weekend. We present truly Rochester’s best talent from all ages on our stages, and for this reason Canal Days has become the “jazz festival before the Jazz Festival”. Here is a taste of what you can enjoy:
