Festival Main Stages
The Regent Theatre
We were thrilled to have the PEC Jazz Festival return to The Regent Theatre this year! The Regent has an impressive 100+ year history as the hub for entertainment and live performances in Picton. The Regent Theatre has been host to Jazz Festival artists for over 25 years and we were so pleased to feature Molly Johnson at a SOLD OUT co-production concert at the Festival this August! |
St. Mary Magdalene Church A number of our main stage shows took place in the beautiful space at St. Mary Magdalene Church in Picton. Rich in history, with timeless acoustics, this venue is air conditioned, accessible, has cushioned seating and is located centrally to many of the Festival's other events and concerts. |
