Kiama Jazz & Blues Festival (5 Mar 2027)

Thu, 04 Mar 2027 13:00:00 GMT

In 2027, the Kiama Jazz & Blues Festival turns 40.

For one weekend, we fill the spaces and places of our coastal town with music.

Jazz & blues are our roots — not our boundaries.

Soul, funk, folk, electronica, improvisation and all sorts of interesting places in between are very welcome here.

KJBF is a grassroots, not-for-profit festival. We love original music, interesting music and discovering artists we haven't heard before. At the heart of the Festival is connecting great musicians with curious audiences. We believe musicians should be paid fairly, and we do our best to make coming to Kiama worthwhile.
