Twilight Jazz & Blues

Dates

Twilight Jazz & Blues has been bringing live jazz and blues to Niagara-on-the-Lake since 2011. Founded by Juliet Dunn and Peter Shea, the series brings together acclaimed artists, touring musicians, and local talent for intimate evenings of music at The Hare Wine Co.

Held on the first Monday of each month from October through June, each evening is designed to feel relaxed and unhurried. Settle in with a glass of wine, charcuterie, focaccia, or a gourmet pizza and let the music take over as the day fades into night.
