Activities 2025
From April 24 to 26, 2025, Québec Jazz returned to Bremen to proudly represent the Quebec jazz scene at jazzahead!, the world’s largest international jazz trade fair. For this edition, the Quebec delegation enthusiastically supported 20 delegates — including artists, agents, presenters, and industry professionals — in building meaningful connections and fostering lasting international exchanges.
Québec Jazz comes out of the 2025 edition of jazzahead! with a renewed and strong commitment to promoting the circulation of Quebec jazz on the international stage. A heartfelt thank-you to all the partners and delegates who made this mission such a success!
