Oscar Peterson International Jazz Festival

The Oscar Peterson International Jazz Festival (OPIJF) was co-founded in 2018 by Kelly Peterson, widow of the Canadian jazz musician Oscar Peterson, and jazz pianist Renee Rosnes. The festival's mission is to showcase world-class Canadian talent performing alongside premier international jazz artists. The inaugural festival was dedicated to jazz impresario Norman Granz on the 100th anniversary of his birth. During the annual festival, which took place in Niagara-on-the-Lake, Ontario in 2018 and 2019, the Canadian Jazz Masters Awards were also presented.
