Manly is set to come alive with the iconic Manly Jazz festival returning to this much-loved location.

Celebrating its 45th year, the festival has been online for the past two years due to the pandemic and will return for two great days on 24-25 September.

With its beautiful beach back drop and a stellar line up to be announced in July, including the return of international acts, it’s a weekend not to be missed!

The event will again be under the guidance of Artistic Directors Caroline and Andrew Speight.

Pop it in your diaries as there will be something for everyone, with a wide range of jazz planned, from traditional New Orleans jazz to funk, Latin, fusion, blues, gospel, swing and roots.

Manly Jazz continues to draw in visitors from across Sydney and further afield, boosting our local economy, especially as businesses recover from the economic impacts of the pandemic.

Working with the Manly Business Chamber, the date of the event has moved from the October long weekend to a traditionally less busy weekend in September, to deliver a great weekend of music while supporting local business during a quieter trading period.

We look forward to seeing you there.
