Jumpers and Jazz Committee President Nancy DePrada is anticipating another great year for Jumpers and Jazz in July. ‘We have always considered Jumpers and Jazz to be a ‘community owned and led’ festival, created and supported by locals. Our hard-working volunteer committee and work groups have again this year been pulling all the threads together for another colorful, vibrant festival that will impact our community, hospitality, accommodation and retail sectors in a positive way. We are looking forward to welcoming back visitors from near and far – especially from across the borders!’
‘The vibrant decorated Festival Hub will be open this week from 10 am – 2pm at 124 Palmerin St (Old Video Ezy Store) with opportunity to drop in for information, relax, view our merchandise for purchase, and enjoy once again some memories from last year’s yarntopian retro display.
With over 100 event experiences through the Southern Downs Region, and ticketed events needing to be booked very soon, we invite everyone to have a close look at the full program online, or pick up a printed copy from Festival Hub, Visitor Information Centre, Art Gallery, and Festival sponsors. There is definitely something for everyone – from a special children’s event space – to Grand Automobile Display – world class “get up and dance” music events – and of course a host of quirky creative yarn bombing on trees, eclectic artisans pop up shops and market opportunities.
We would love to hear from anyone who may have some time to put their hand up and help out at the festival, whether at the Hub, decorating events, and especially appreciate some “young energy” for set up and pull down for street events!
Enjoy the festival!
