4 Ways to Support the Festival
The North Hatley Jazz Festival thrives on the passion of our community, and there are many ways to help us keep the music playing in the Massawippi Valley. Whether you join our Festival Friends for exclusive perks, become a Corporate Partner to grow your regional visibility, or give your time as a Volunteer, your contribution is vital. You can also participate in our Silent Online Auction—a unique “solidarity gallery” designed to shine a spotlight on local artists and merchants while directly funding our free public programming. Explore the options below to find your perfect fit!
Become a Friend of the Festival
Join our jazz family and help keep the music alive in North Hatley and the Massawippi Valley. More than a donation, becoming a Festival Friend means joining a community of passionate music lovers dedicated to our local cultural scene. In return for your support, you’ll enjoy exclusive perks like an invitation to our private Friends-only event, a surprise gift, priority access to limited-edition items, and insider updates. Whether you choose to give $20 or $150, every contribution directly sustains our programming and keeps our community vibrant.
Join the Festival Partners
The North Hatley Jazz Festival is a powerful engine for the artistic and economic vitality of the Memphrémagog region. Following a landmark first edition in 2025—which welcomed over 4,000 visitors—we are looking for partners to join us for our even more ambitious 2026 season. By partnering with us, you associate your brand with high-quality cultural programming and demonstrate a deep commitment to our community’s growth. We offer custom sponsorship packages designed to align with your goals and maximize your visibility with our loyal audience.

Participate in the Silent Auction
Our Silent Online Auction is more than a fundraiser; it is a “solidarity gallery” designed to showcase the incredible merchants and artists of our region. This unique model ensures that while your bids help fund the festival’s free public performances, they also directly support our creators—50% of every art sale goes straight back to the artist. Whether you are a local business looking for high visibility among thousands of festival-goers or an art lover seeking a unique treasure, the auction is the perfect bridge between our local economy and the soulful sounds of jazz
