Apart from its natural scenic attractions, Noosa also boasts an array of festivals and community events, with the popular Noosa Jazz Party, considered the premier cultural event in this region.
The Noosa Jazz Party will be held over several venues, with various Jazz bands and artists participating in the 2024 event.
Noosa Jazz Party Sunshine Coast, 2024 Dates Program & Schedule Lineup
The Noosa Heads Jazz Club will organise and stage the Noosa Jazz Festival (incorporating the Noosa Jazz Party). It will be in the same format as previous years, a festival of performances every day over nine days in concert theatres, on river cruises at sunset, in restaurants and bars and an outdoor concert at a riverside park. Jazz at The J Theatre remains its centrepiece event.
It’s a real celebration of traditional jazz and a unique event unlike any other jazz festival in Australia! All in the natural beauty of Noosa’s rivers, lakes, beaches, National Parks and Hinterland.
It’s unique because they bring together in one location – a unique gathering of leading Australian and overseas-based jazz musicians who are among the best.
They form into unique bands or ensembles, challenging their skills and leading to exciting improvisation to come together for a feast of exciting, classic jazz.
No other jazz festival in Australia offers the prospect of enjoying Australia’s top traditional jazz musicians, plus high-profile overseas musicians all performing in one locality.
Food and drinks are available at the venues, and heaps of traditional jazz will have your toes tapping or up dancing. There will also be plenty of seating for those who prefer to sit and enjoy the show! Seating is available on a first-come-first-served basis.
You can purchase tickets for one or all four nights. A shuttle bus will also operate, taking passengers around Noosa Heads during the festival.
What’s happened to the Jazz Festival and more contemporary music? Last year we cancelled our winter holiday as you were offering only traditional jazz which does not cater for the younger jazz enthusiast. Unfortunately we will again have to cancel. Whats happened to the wonderful festivals of the past years that encouraged visitors from overseas as well as local modern jazz fans? It is a shame for Noosa that this has happened. We loved the long lunch on Hastings Street and all the music in the festival park. We have been frequent visitors with friends from New Zealand for as long as the festival has been playing and we are now disappointed in the limited line up currently featuring only traditional Jazz artists.

Hi Peter,
We are an information website, therefore have no control over these types of events.
The 2017 line-up is yet to be released. If you would like to speak to the organisers, you can contact them here: [email protected].

Have been trying to book tickets for festival but only seem to get 2015 page. Arrive from New Zealand on the 30th and would really like to attend some functions. Please help. Cheryl & William
Hi Cheryl,
Just tried to find out some info about the date as we have had “TBA” waiting for an update from the festival organisers. Unfortunately I don’t think it is running this year. As you say, the official website hasn’t updated their page and the Noosa Jazz Club Facebook page mentions that the festival may not run in 2016.
I have however located a page for the Noosa Heads Jazz Club who have an event running from the 26th of August to the 4th of September 2016. Here is a link to their website. It seems you need to call them to purchase tickets.
I will update our web page to point people to this new event.
Best regards,
Jess
