The City of Orillia today announced a $2,000 grant in support of the Orillia Jazz Festival. Now in its 20th year, the Jazz Festival is programmed in venues throughout the community on October 22, 23 and 24.
“The Committee is pleased to add the City of Orillia to the Festival’s roster of supporters”, says Maureen Way, president of the 2010 Orillia Jazz Festival Committee. “It has been a trying year in both the private and public sectors and the Committee appreciates the generous financial assistance of local businesses and the City of Orillia”.
A diverse selection of cultural events adds to the quality of life for Orillians. But further than that, it is important to recognize that any investment the City of Orillia makes in local festivals and events has a positive economic benefit to the community. The Jazz Festival is especially vital to Orillia due to its longevity and its shoulder season scheduling. It is important to create activity in between our major seasons to assist in keeping local business busy.
The City of Orillia joins other sponsors and supporters such as Sleeman, Richards Goldsmithing, Davenport Suburu, Downtown Orillia Management Board, Orillia Pro Net, Paul Blanche, Jazz FM, The Dock 104.1, The Packet & Times, Orillia Today, Hawk Ridge and Stone Gate Inn.
During the event, music can be enjoyed at venues throughout Orillia including Sixteen Front, Brewery Bay, Era 67, Fern Resort, Apple Annie’s,
McCabe’s, Grape & Olive, Portage Italian Bistro, Tux II, Zat’s and St. Paul’s United Church,
A special kick-off event is scheduled for October 21st at Hawk Ridge Golf and Country Club. Check our website for all the updates and information.
The Committee thanks the City of Orillia and looks forward to seeing everyone at the Jazz Festival venues throughout the weekend.
