Every major Festival seems to attract creative, entrepreneurial types who stage unofficial events alongside the real ones.  At Wangaratta Jazz, we are all about community and we know sometimes the Festival venues are just not big enough to accommodate all of the folks in town, so here are a few fringe events that might be of interest.

Note:  We can not vouch for the quality of any jazz or blues artist performing at non-festival venues.

Inspiration

"For the past twenty years, the city of Wangaratta has played a critical role in the development of jazz in this country. Its annual Festival has helped nurture a generation of talented musicians, and provided a forum for experimentation; and in doing so has challenged audiences to expand their musical horizons. For those of us who have followed the Festival from its infancy, it’s been an incredible journey. I know I speak for many in wishing Wangaratta Jazz every success for its next twenty years."  Des Cowley, Rythms Magazine 2009
