Beaches International Jazz Festival is a jazz festival in Toronto, Canada, first held in 1989. Between festival editions, 3 jazz venues in the city keep live jazz going all year.

The Beaches International Jazz Festival is a month-long music festival held each year in the lakeside Beaches community of Toronto in July. Originally started in 1989, it is now one of Canada's largest free jazz festivals with nearly 1,000,000 attendees, throughout its month-long span. The Festival takes place across a number of venues; stage concerts are held in several different parks within the area and also along a two kilometre stretch of the Beach mainstreet during StreetFest - Queen Street East. In 2022, the Festival returned to a full program of live concerts following several years of both live and virtual events due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
