Get in the swing of things!  The Canadian Big Band Celebration is held annually on the weekend of the third Saturday in September in the town of Saugeen Shores which includes the beautiful lakeside communities of Port Elgin, Saugeen Township, and Southampton Ontario Canada.

The CBBC presents FOUR BIG BANDS for both the afternoon and evening shows, each performing the great dance music of the Big Band era.  This gives the CBBC "Big Event" the distinction of being the premier Big Band dance event in Canada. 

Celebrating big bands, the fabulous dance repertoire and the musicians who perform this timeless music is what the Canadian Big Band Celebration is all about.

Since the first CBBC in 1995, over 2600 musicians and 30,000 music fans have participated in the annual celebration.  Our sponsors and volunteers continue to bring this wonderful celebration of great music to the thousands of music lovers who come to dance, to listen and to share in the joy of music!

Now in its 16th year the Canadian Big Band Celebration continues to attract Big Band and Jazz fans from around Ontario and the U.S.
