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 20-30, 2023.

Spend a day, a weekend or the whole 10 days with over 100 world-class activities and events, including everyone's favourite - the Tree Jumper Exhibition with more than 100 yarn-bombed trees bringing life to Warwick's winter landscape.

Highlights of Jumpers and Jazz in July are the Festival's signature evening events: Jumpin’ Jazz Laneway Party on Friday, July 21 (headlined by Dezzie D and the Stingrays); All That Jazz with Well Swung Daddies along with Nicole Parker and The Jazz Kings on Saturday, July 22; and Twilight Jazz n' Blues in the Park (featuring Soul'd ) on Saturday, July 29.

Other popular events include the Grand Automobile Display on Palmerin Street (July 23), Stroll and Swing (July 29) featuring Suitcase Rummage and Celebration of Local Flavours - an opportunity for the region’s primary producers and boutique cottage industry vendors to showcase their goods. 

Meanwhile, the grande finale Picnic in the Park on Sunday, July 30 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 Marks 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 Curiouser and Curiouser (Yarntopians’ unique interpretation of Lewis Carroll’s classic tale), Killarney Bonfire Night (Jul 22), Matt Golinski - Celebrity Chef Cooking Demos & Tastings (Jul 29), sheep dog trials, 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!

Whether you want an action-packed weekend, or a leisurely mid-week meander, there is definitely something for everyone.
