The Cellar Music Group presents the 6th Annual Jazz at the Bolt festival at Burnaby's Shadbolt Centre for the Arts: an annual treasure of an event, celebrating our vibrant jazz scene.

The festival brings established artists as well as many up-and-coming stars from Metro Vancouver and the U.S., especially New York City, providing a great variety of performances that highlight the tradition while also pushing creative boundaries.

Stay tuned for announcements about performers!

The 6th annual Jazz at the Bolt will take place from Feb. 13-15, 2026.

Jazz at the Bolt 2026 continues the partnership of Cellar Music Group founder and festival director Cory Weeds with Tim Reinert of Infidels Jazz. "Tim's involvement is key to making Jazz at the Bolt a success," Weeds says. "He provides a different flavour to the festival. His programming really helps give it the element of musical diversity, which is very important."

Through two full days of music on Saturday, Feb. 14 and Sunday, Feb. 15, as well as a special Friday evening event on Feb. 13, attendees can enjoy more than 25 concerts on offer. Jazz at the Bolt fosters a community of jazz lovers, bringing together friends old and new, while gathering momentum around the next generation of talent.
