Wellington Jazz Festival

The Wellington Jazz Festival is an event of true international standard.

Offering a broad jazz palette of leading international and New Zealand jazz artists, the Wellington Jazz Festival has a musical programme that is widely accessible to audiences. From contemporary and traditional jazz to soul, rhythm & blues, reggae, latin and gospel, this Festival is not just for the aficionado but for a broad selection of tastes.

The 2013 Wellington Jazz Festival on Cuba will be held from 6-8 June, when hundreds of musicians will be turning up the heat in the capital’s famous Cuba Quarter. There are major international acts, home-grown super groups, relaxed afternoon sessions and riotous late-night jams – all crammed into some of our capital’s best loved music venues, bars and eateries. The 2013 Wellington Jazz Festival will be New Zealand’s hottest little jazz festival - in the world’s coolest little capital.
