Up-and-coming and well established Aurora Talent will have another chance to shine this weekend at the inaugural Newmarket jazz+ Festival.<\/p>\n

In this, their first year in Newmarket following the Aurora jazz+ Festival, organizer Sher St. Kitts has maintained relationships with local singers for the Civic Holiday Weekend Festival.<\/p>\n

Having pride of place this year right before headliner Justin Hines takes the stage will be award-winning Aurora singer Stacey Kaniuk. She will perform this Saturday at 7 p.m. <\/p>\n

The fun, however, kicks off Friday. The Arts Music Teachers Band, featuring artists from Aurora and the surrounding area \u2013 including a few Juno awards under their respective belts \u2013 take the stage at 6.45 p.m.<\/p>\n

Aaron Morris of the Manatee Band is slated to get behind the microphone at 3 p.m. on Saturday, soon followed by Chris Hau at 5 p.m.<\/p>\n

After Stacey, Justin and the George St. Kitts Band bring things to a close on Saturday, music continues through Sunday with the After Hours Big Band kicking off the day\u2019s entertainment at 1 p.m. They will be followed by Six Ways To Sunday featuring Michael Lanteigne of Aurora\u2019s My Jam Space and My Rock Band Camp, at 2 p.m. <\/p>\n

Popular Aurora mainstay Glenn Marais also carries on the local contingent, scheduled to appear on stage at 3 p.m. <\/p>\n

The Newmarket jazz+ Festival opens Friday afternoon at 5.30 at Riverwalk Commons and runs through Sunday at 11 p.m.<\/p>\n

Additional activities include kids art, music workshops, painting to music, a beer and wine garden, live music and shopping on Main Street Friday night, and a beer and wine garden, all assisted by countless local volunteers. <\/p>\n

\u201cArts Music Festivals York Region wishes to invite festival fans in Aurora to join us at Riverwalk Commons this Friday, Saturday and Sunday to enjoy many of Canada\u2019s finest entertainers and artists,\u201d says Ms. St. Kitts. \u201cWe will showcase many home-grown Aurorans and are pleased to have so many Aurora residents volunteering to help make this a truly great festival for York Region.\u201d
