🎶 What to Expect at This Year’s Festival
Celebrating 27 years of live music magic, the Pentastic Hot Jazz & Music Festival brings together top-tier talent from across North America. You’ll hear everything from traditional Dixieland and swing to blues, jazz, country, and zydeco — all performed across multiple indoor venues throughout the city.
This year’s festival lineup includes new and returning favourites including Dave Bennett & the Memphis Speed Kings, Tom Hook & the Hounds, Groovus, Tom Rigney & Flambeau, and many more! Get ready for 3 days of amazing music and fun, with dance floors open and drinks flowing. Leave the keys in your room and enjoy a free shuttle service that will transport you from venue to venue. Whether you’re swaying along at the Elks Hall, or enjoying a late night show at the Penticton Trade & Convention Centre, there’s a show (and a seat) for everyone!
New this year, and adding to the diverse musical experience that Pentastic has become known for, festival-goers can enjoy performances by legendary country artists Dane Bateman & JoJo Mason!
🌟 Why Penticton is the Perfect Festival Host
With its stunning lakeside setting, walkable downtown, and thriving food and drink scene, Penticton is the ideal backdrop for a weekend of music and celebration. Between sets, take a stroll along Okanagan Lake, visit a local winery or brewery, or browse the Saturday Farmers’ Market just steps from festival venues.
The Pentastic Hot Jazz & Music Festival may be the headliner — but the full Penticton experience is always part of the show.
Don’t Miss a Beat
Whether you’re a Pentastic regular or a curious first-timer, Pentastic Hot Jazz & Music Festival is more than a music event — it’s a community celebration where dancing is encouraged, smiles are everywhere, and the rhythm never stops!

Penticton is a fabulous small town with so many great events all year long. The Jazz Festival is one of my favorites. Since I have moved away I really miss this beautiful place.
