Jumpers & Jazz in July

Jumpers and Jazz in July is Queensland’s quirkiest winter festival, featuring stunning visual arts and live jazz music in and around the beautiful, historic city of Warwick from July 18-28, 2024.

In celebration of its twentieth anniversary, this year promises to be the most vibrant yet, with an array of exciting events and activities designed to delight all ages.

From the enchanting yarn-bombed trees that transform Warwick into a winter wonderland, to the soulful tunes of jazz performances filling the air, every corner of the town will be alive with colour and sound.

Spend a day, a weekend or the whole 10 days with over 160 world-class events and experiences, including Killarney Bonfire Night, Potters Markets and Soup Night, along with unique activities like barn dances, Christmas dinners, and even naked vines at Ridgemill Estate in Stanthorpe.

Kick off with the Jumpin Jazz Laneway Party and the Grand Auto Display. Then enjoy the Saturday Stroll n Swing in the Park, the Local Flavours Long Lunch, and cooking demonstrations by celebrity chef Matt Golinski.

As night falls, be enchanted by the magical Twilight Jazz n Blues in the Park with Katie Noonan and support act Hat Fitz & Cara. And round off the weekend with Picnic in the Park on July 28th, featuring live jazz tunes and Potters Markets.

The grande finale Picnic in the Park always attracts a crowd with scores of eclectic stalls and live jazz all day. Bask in the winter sun and listen to smooth jazz tunes with festival favourites, while sampling local wines and great food. 

And that's not all - delight in the constant backdrop of vibrant yarn-bombed trees and local art displays at St Mark's heritage hall, along with a variety of free entertainment, sumptuous food, wine and plenty of coffee.

Plus, there are plenty of other events in the area during the festival including the Suitcase Rummage market, winery tours, sheep dog trials, morning teas, steam train rides, fun activities for kids and so much more! 

Plan to stay and explore the amazing landscape, wineries and historic sandstone buildings of the Southern Downs Granite Belt Region. If you are looking for a true experience, perhaps you can bring the caravan out or book a motorhome and explore the region!
