The Festival:
Friday starts with the Koru Tree Emerging Talent Competition at the Thermal Pools Complex, offering an opportunity to young talent looking for exposure of their talents, and including a prize pool of $2500.
Friday night we have a big band concert and swing dance, within the Thermal Pools and Spa complex, where you can laze away in a hot pool, which we hope will be open for extended hours, or you can join the crowd and dance the night away, to the beat of the big band.
Saturday brings a day of laid-back musos strutting their stuff in a variety of cafes and bars, and also within the pools complex. So come out and enjoy a coffee, brunch, beer or wine, and enjoy the relaxed atmosphere. There will be no charge for all day-time performances at cafes and bars. Saturday evening, we will be enjoying an outdoor concert in a park-like setting.
Buy tickets for the concert on the Rockgas Jazz and Blues Concert event also listed on EventFinder.
On Sunday morning, relax in the Village Green to the sounds of the Choral groups, followed by brunch at your favourite café, where you’ll again be entertained by jazz and blues artists.
