The Heavyweights and Shuffle Demons opened the Kensington Jazz Festival with a parade.

The tradition continues. Chris Butcher, co-founder of The Heavyweights, joined his lifelong friends from New Orleans, where he moved few years ago. Chris was part of the first festival in 2016 and tries to be in Toronto at this time of a year. He performed later on in few clubs, but I only managed to catch him once at the "Supermarket". The Kensington festival features musicians from in Toronto or based in Toronto. Some 400 musician took parts at the end of September weekend.
