Wellington Jazz Festival

A high note on the city's calendar.

Overview

The Wellington Jazz Festival is, frankly, a jewel in the crown of the city. Where else can you find 100 wildly varied, beautifully curated acts playing in your favourite venues, all within five days of each other?

No matter your price point or jazz taste, you can find a way to spend your time, cosied up in a booth, at a large bar or in the Michael Fowler. This year, the Festival has also introduced Jazz Bites — the city's best eateries serving up specially-curated dishes for before, after or during festival acts. Have a Jazz Festival Pizza at MOON in Newtown, a Yakitori platter at Ancestral, or a three-course pre-show dinner at Zibbibo, among others.

More than 25,000 joined the party at last year's festival, and this year's festival looks even bigger and better. Don't miss out on this high note on the city's musical calendar.
