Darling Harbour Jazz and Blues Festival
Celebrate 21 years of Sydney's original outdoor jazz festival in style.
Overview
There are a lot of ways to celebrate a twenty-first birthday but there are a few musts: old friends, good food, great booze and brilliant music. The Darling Harbour Jazz and Blues Festival is celebrating twenty one years and is ticking all the boxes. Set across four stages including the world famous floating Harbourside stage, the program looks set to excite.
To celebrate its momentous anniversary the festival is pulling out all stops, bringing together the best of the local and international jazz scene, including Australia's greatest jazz man and festival favourite James Morrison, ethereal songstress Katie Noonan, the rocking 17-piece all-girl Sirens Big Band, the irrepressible Topsy Chapman and US legends the Ron Carter Trio to name just a few.
However if music isn't your scene, the Harbour still has a lot to offer over the three days. This year the festival organisers are attempting a world record: an attempt to gather the largest saxophone orchestra ever assembled. The number to beat is 918 but the organizers are quietly confident they will hit over a thousand. The Chinese Garden of Friendship will also be offering yum-cha and drink deals each day of the festival.
