🎷 Sponsor Highlight #3 | Antigonish Tourism Association
The Antigonish Jazz Festival is a strong example of the work and dedication of the Antigonish Tourism Association (ATA). Recognizing a need to strengthen tourism during Antigonish’s shoulder season, ATA created the festival as a way to bring people into the community at a traditionally quieter time of year. Five years later, the festival continues to thrive as a sustainable three-day event, welcoming up to 1,000 attendees, including both local residents and visitors from outside the area. Its continued success would not be possible without the commitment, planning, and support of ATA, whose efforts have helped create an event that supports local businesses, showcases talented musicians, and brings the community together. A sincere thank you to the Antigonish Tourism Association for its continued dedication to growing tourism in Antigonish and for making the Antigonish Jazz Festival a lasting part of our community.
