Since its inception, TD Toronto Jazz Fest has hosted over 35,000 artists (85% of whom were Canadian) and contributed more than $600 million in economic benefits to the city of Toronto.

As part of the 35th festivities, the festival concentrates on getting local artists and crews back to work, with 90% of the free shows featuring Canadian artists. To continue to set a precedent for showcasing international acts alongside emerging and local talent, TD Toronto Jazz Fest has expanded its outdoor footprint. They have announced additional stages at Victoria University on the University of Toronto campus, providing even more free live performance spaces with a larger-scale audience reach. Music fans of all ages can gather in the OLG Grove, relax in Muskoka Chairs or sit on the grass, and enjoy a wide variety of musical performances in an intimate setting throughout the afternoon and into the evening.
