JIM 2020 Festival Postponement

June 8, 2020 June 2020 No Comments

It is with great sadness that we are not proceeding with the 2020 Jazz in Martinborough festival this year due to the Covid-19 crisis.

The restrictions around travel and public gatherings, and the uncertainty for our sponsors, makes the conditions for planning to stage an event simply too challenging to overcome.

We will keep in touch with our sponsors, venue partners and musicians so we can stage a fantastic 10th festival at another time.

Our hearts go out to the jazz musicians, technicians and the many local bars, cafes and restaurants who are the soul of our festival.

We will watch developments closely and reach out so you can be part of any new plans.
