One of Collingwood's most popular summertime events takes place every Wednesday evening at The Station. "Jazz at the Station" features outstanding musicians and offers a variety of musical performances throughout the summer. Show up with your lawn chair, sit back and enjoy your evening.
In 2007 a grassroots movement lead a group of Collingwood Jazz enthusiasts with the support of the Town of Collingwood and the Downtown Collingwood BIA to present a series of Wednesday evening concerts at the Collingwood Museum/Station park. The series “Jazz at the Station” became very popular over the summer and the attendance built from under 100 at the first concert to averaging 250+ per concert at the 2010 series.
The Collingwood Jazz and Blues Society was incorporated with non-profit status in December 2008. The society presently has 70+ members who volunteer time to assist in the production and operation of Jazz and Blues events in the Collingwood - Blue Mountain area
