More than three years after a similar event fell flat, Brampton is looking to revive a jazz music festival in the downtown.

“We know we have an audience in Brampton because our analytics tell us,” said Arnold Schwisberg, founder and producer of Jazz on the Mountain (JOM) Festivals Inc. Schwisberg presented plans to Community and Public Services Committee Nov. 16 for a festival that would coincide with the city’s annual CeleBrampton festival held in June.

Schwisberg asked the city to set aside $65,000 to offset the cost for the event, plus provide some in-kind services.

“What we have here in Brampton is a wonderful opportunity to work with CeleBrampton, where in the middle of the afternoon you have 30,000 people in Garden Square with nowhere to go,” Schwisberg said.
