Thanks guys. This was the first time I've been to the Beaches jazz festival and I have to admit I was a little disappointed picture wise (music was great though). They closed off Queen street and had the bands along the street. The crowds are so thick it was almost impossible to get close enough to get pictures unless you are 10 feet tall. As a result I spent half my time at the one big stage but not a lot of variety. One band at the beginning and another at the end and was more of a Latin genre. Also the main stage was at least a kilometer from the rest of the bands. Too far to keep walking back and forth.

Can't wait until the Mississauga Southside Shuffle in about a month from now after Labour Day. Bands are all on stages in one park and 5 minute walk to go from one end to the other. Hope to get more pictures like these.
