Southern Downs’ annual Jumpers and Jazz Festival is a wonderland of cosiness.

Queensland’s quirkiest festival is back for another round of crafty goodness and get-up-n-dance jazz this July. Jumpers and Jazz Festival in the Southern Downs' town of Warwick will be unfolding from July 16th to 26th, chock full of arty installations, colourful vibes, live jazz 'n' blues performances and laneway parties.

Across the 10 days of celebrations, fans can find a mix of everyday events (like the yarn-bombed tree exhibition and the yarntopian large-scale installation), a program of top-notch performers, as well as extra-special events taking hold of the festival on the two big weekends bookending it. Think exquisite long lunches, artisan markets and cars (from vintage to modern) on display – plus a whole lot of swing dance music to soundtrack your adventure. With over 220 event experiences across the region throughout the festival, rest assured there’s something for everyone.

For folks with an affinity for the retro side of life, you’re going to love this expression of creativity and community in Warwick. Not only is the festival itself a blast from the past from when Ella Fitzgerald reigned supreme, but the town is also a heritage-listed dreamscape of beautiful historic buildings and century-old pubs.

Don your best dancing shoes and boldest red lippy and get on over to Warwick this July 16th to 26th for 10 days of crafty, quirky fun. Spy the deets, full program and tickets on Jumpers and Jazz’s website this-a-way.
