An important update from the Port of Tauranga 62nd National Jazz Festival Tauranga for this Easter weekend.

The Music Plays On – Rain or Shine! 🎷
There’s little that can stop a 62-year tradition, certainly not a bit of weather!

At the Port of Tauranga National Jazz Festival, we’ve worked creatively behind the scenes to make sure every event still goes ahead this Easter weekend, with just a few tweaks to keep you warm and dry while the music keeps flowing.

Here’s what you need to know:

🎶 Jazz Village is moving indoors!
Join us at the beautiful Baycourt Addison Theatre and foyer from 11am–5pm on Good Friday. You’ll still enjoy the same stellar lineup - Kokomo, Shaken not Stirred, The Mafia Cats, Free Status, Radio Rebelde, and more - plus a bar, coffee cart, and sweet treats to keep the good vibes going.

🎺 Downtown Carnival is still ON!
On Saturday 19 and Sunday 20 April, the heart of Downtown Tauranga will come alive with jazz and blues inside some of your favourite bars and cafes. Great food, drinks, and live music in cosy, vibrant spots around the CBD.

💡 Bonus: Parking is free all Easter weekend!

So don’t let a little rain dampen your plans, the show will go on, and we can’t wait to welcome you. Bring your friends, support our incredible musicians, and enjoy the spirit of the festival in full swing.
