Jazz Festival gets new hub

Following the success of the Kiama Jazz & Blues Festival’s hubs last year, and the inaugural Street Soiree organised by Destination Kiama, this year the Festival will be including the Harbour end of Terralong St as a venue.

“Destination Kiama and Kiama Council have always been strong supporters of the Kiama Jazz and Blues Festival, and bringing it from the sidewalk to the street will add another layer to the jazz and blues town takeover on the Sunday,” says Sally Bursell, Manager, Tourism and Events.

“Activating the ‘Justice Precinct’ with chilled vibes and plenty of space to kick off your shoes, enjoy free live performances, street food, and a true festival atmosphere.” as he is in such demand.

The closing off of Terralong St between Manning and Railway Parade was a recommendation of the Town Centre Study, and was first done on New Years Eve.

From 11am on the Sunday, we are told there will be an exciting line-up of performers, street food and more. This free event is made possible with the support of Destination Kiama and the NSW Government’s Reconnecting Regional Community Events Program.

10-12 March. Our next edition will have more on the Festival, but check out its website now for ticketed events.

“Frank has played at a lot of KJBFs and we are so happy for his success,” says the Festival’s organiser, Becky Guggisberg.

“He will be playing a homecoming gig at Filmores on 24 February though, with tickets selling fast.”
