Merimbula Jazz Festival

Merimbula Jazz Festival is known as the festival for musicians! Jazz lovers adore this annual seaside festival held over the June long weekend. There's four fabulous days celebrating all styles of jazz from big band, swing, modern, funk, and mainstream to traditional and ragtime.

You'll get to see and hear musicians and performers from all over the country. They love meeting up on this gorgeous part of the NSW Far South Coast and there's a growing Youth Jazz Quest on Saturday night with some generous prizes. 

The Merimbula Jazz Festival was born in 1980 during an impromptu Sunday afternoon gig. The next year it began in earnest and the Merimbula Jazz Festival is now Australia's longest running jazz festival!
