About this event

By Donation. Registration required/Limited seating

The festival will close out once again with a Jazz AWE (Alternative Worship Experience) at the United Churches of Langley. Jazz AWE gives a musical twist to the Sunday church experience. Live jazz music is woven into readings, reflection and conversations. Hosted by Rev. Sophia Ducey.

This by-donation performance on Sunday, July 28 at 4:30 pm will feature the Maureen Washington Quartet.

Canadian-International jazz singer, Maureen Washington is one of Vancouver Island’s most sought-after vocalists. Her rich tones and captivating emotions have cultivated large audiences with her styling that encompasses the soul of Etta James, Carmen McRae and the modernity of Holly Cole. And yet she remains a voice of her own.

Organized by

The Fort Langley Jazz & Arts Festival is a not-for-profit organization with a mandate to enrich cultural life in the Fraser Valley by bringing emerging and established jazz acts and visual art together to Fort Langley for all to enjoy. Established in 2018, the festival draws thousands of residents and visitors to the streets of Fort Langley during the last weekend in July.

The festival is organized by a committee of community-spirited individuals from civic, business, and artistic enterprises that see the need and the unique opportunity to create a community arts festival that brings together live jazz music and visual art to the quaint and beautiful setting of Fort Langley, British Columbia. What started as an idea and a few conversations in late 2017, grew quickly into a reality after the favourable support and interest by the Township of Langley, local community groups and businesses and members of the community
