Be part of the jazz adventure in North Hatley
NEW THIS YEAR: We're inviting you to join our jazz family as a Friend of the Festival! Instead of a traditional donation campaign, we're building a community of supporters who keep live music thriving in North Hatley and the Massawippi Valley. Every contribution matters!
Local businesses, services, artists, and festivalgoers all come together in a shared spirit of generosity.
Local businesses and services — By donating products or services, businesses and service providers in the region invest directly in the touristic and cultural vitality of North Hatley. Their involvement in the silent auction is a meaningful act of local pride: every donation helps fund concerts and activities that make our community shine.
Local artists — Our partnership with local artists is at the heart of this auction. The festival becomes a gallery of solidarity, because supporting culture also means recognizing and celebrating those who create it. For every artwork sold, the artist receives directly 50% of the final bid — a fair recognition of their talent and work.
50% goes directly to the artist
50% supports the Festival
Art within reach — In collaboration with a local gallery that generously provides its space, the artworks selected for the auction will be on display throughout the festival, from Thursday, August 6 to Sunday, August 9. A rare opportunity to see the pieces up close, to experience them, before placing a bid.
How does it work?
The silent auction opens online before the festival — all items, including artworks, will be listed on our online platform so you can bid at your own pace, from anywhere.
The auction closes on Sunday, August 9, 2026 at 6:00 PM. Items and artworks can be picked up starting Monday, August 10, 2026. For any special requests regarding pickup, don't hesitate to reach out — we'll be happy to make arrangements.
Want to contribute? Do you have a unique object, a memorable experience, or a work of art to offer? We'd love to include it in this year's silent auction.
