Including FREE-FOR-ALL FRIDAY, free concerts
and the complete lineup
Toronto - On Friday, June 21, the TD Toronto Jazz Festival
will present its first-ever FREE-FOR-ALL FRIDAY
where admission to the entire Festival is on us! Visit any
participating club, venue or restaurant that day and enjoy the
music free of charge.
Motown's legendary Smokey Robinson brings
his classic hits to the TD Toronto Jazz Festival
with a FREE
concert! Feel the Motown sound move through the tent as
it powers up the downtown core on Friday, June 21, at
8:00 p.m., at Nathan Phillips Square.
Renowned for such hits as "Shop Around," "You’ve Really Got a
Hold on Me," and "Baby That's Backatcha" and for his work as
founder and frontman of the popular Motown vocal group, The
Miracles, Robinson is not to be missed. The Rock & Roll
Hall of Fame inductee will bring his catalogue of Motown hits
with him as he kicks off summer.
Motown vocalists Martha Reeves and the
Vandellas will join Robinson for the "Heat Wave," with a
hot show that will have Festival-goers "Dancing in the Street"
to a blend of jazz, blues, R&B, pop, doo-wop, rock and
roll and soul!
Jazz will play throughout the city on June 21st
for FREE, with various locations playing host to many talented
performers throughout the day and late into the night. From
the clubs, to the patios, to Nathan Phillips Square, travel
the city and get your jazz on without a ticket. To see the
complete schedule of events for FREE-FOR-ALL-FRIDAY visit our
