About Us

Welcome to the second annual Montreal Jewish Music Festival. The festival is the latest addition to Montreal's already vibrant summer calendar and brings the best in traditional and contemporary Jewish music to the streets of Montreal. The events are primarily located in venues throughout the downtown core, and especially around St. Laurent Blvd. (Aka The Main), the street where for over one hundred years the Montreal Jewish community thrived and where Montreal’s multicultural face shines. Come and discover top local, national and international artists performing a wide variety of Jewish music ranging from hip hop and rock to traditional klezmer and Sephardic music. Enjoy!

The festival is presented by KLEZKANADA in collaboration with The Jewish Community Foundation of Montreal, Federation CJA and Gen J. KlezKanada is an internationally recognized arts institution, which for over fifteen years has sought to benefit the entire community through its concert series, its annual summer program in Lantier, Quebec, its local workshops and school programs.
