The Salt Spring Jazz and Blues Society was incorporated on June 28, 2006 and presented a regular concert series and 4 festivals between 2006 and 2009. We have hosted local and West Coast jazz and blues musicians as well as artists from farther away. Some have, in addition to performing, presented workshops for local amateur and school student musicians.

After a period of inactivity during COVID restrictions, in 2022 we initiated weekly Sunday afternoon jazz and blues jam sessions at the Royal Canadian Legion.  Backed by a paid band, these have proven highly successful, attracting a number of talented jammers, lots of dancers and an appreciative audience.
