About the Festival |
|
The Inverloch Jazz Festival started in 1994, and 2019 will be our 26th festival. Inverloch Jazz Festival Inc is a non-profit organization run solely by volunteers. Over the years the festival has helped to raise hundreds of thousands of dollars for community associations including the Lions, Rotary, Inverloch Surf Life Saving Club and the Inverloch Men's Shed. This is an outstanding festival full of great jazz, for a great cause, in a great place.
Inverloch itself is a country town , just two hours from Melbourne. The town sits at the broad sandy mouth of the Tarwin River, beside wild ocean beaches and marine reserves, and is on the way to amazing Wilsons Prom. The area is famous for its local wine and produce, and is home to a growing community of musicians, artists and writers. |
The Music Venues |
|
One of the great features of the Inverloch Jazz Festival is that all the venues are within close walking distance of each other. There is wheel chair access to all venues as well, as well as some disabled parking bays in A'Beckett St.

The Hub is the main venue, right in the centre of town in A'Beckett St. The hall holds about 300 people comfortably, and is the venue for the better-known bands. Tickets, catered food and local wines are available at the Hub, which also houses the useful Tourist Information Centre.

The Warrawee Club is beside the Hub, just a stroll away. It is a great little hall, very suitable for those intimate duos, trios and quartets. Food is available here and the hall holds about 200 people.

The RSL is only one hundred metres from the Hub, accessed through Bolding Place behind Warrawee. It is licenced and holds about 70 people comfortably. It's especially enjoyable for intimate jazz.

The Glade |
|
The Glade is a beautiful old park near the foreshore at the bottom of A'Beckett St, behind the marine business. The sloping sides of the Glade make for great viewing of our FREE jazz concert on Monday. Enjoy a family picnic here by the sea, with produce, coffee and wine from visiting food stalls.
