Banff's Summer Arts Festival celebrates music, dance, films, opera, visual and literary arts and new media, with artists from Alberta and beyond. The Banff Centre hosts over 150 events, from jazz to opera, world-class concerts and casual afternoon recitals.

Highlights in 2009 include performances by jazz great Joshua Redman, superstar soprano Tracy Dahl, a rare remount of Hans van Manen's contemporary ballet Grosse Fugue, and a new adaptation of Leos Janacek's The Cunning Little Vixen.
