A great adventure awaits you at Warwick’s 2022 Jumpers and Jazz in July – Queensland’s quirkiest winter festival.
Spread over 10 days from 21 – 31 July, the festival is book-ended by two big weekends and has become a favourite destination for visitors from afar.
Think: a kaleidoscope of yarn-bombed colour; vibrant toe-tapping jazz; great food with warm country hospitality, wine and coffee always; crisp, frosty mornings and soul-warming sunny days with brilliant blue skies.
Festival favourites include exquisitely dressed trees through the CBD, and the Yarntopians’ spectacular creation this year, A Moveable Feast – 1920s Paris in a quaint historic cafe setting in Grafton Street. You’ll love the Artisans’ Markets at the Gallery, Atelier’s Showcase at King’s Theatre (RSL) along with Stroll and Swing on Palmerin featuring Suitcase Rummage and Celebration of Local Flavours. Add to that the awesome Killarney Bonfire night (rug up), and Picnic in the Park finale featuring the huge Warwick Potters Winter Markets with joyful Jazz and great food all day.
The Grand Automobile Display on Palmerin, 24 July, features close to 300 outstanding vehicles and motorcycles old and new through the CBD.
If you can stay, mid-week offers a more relaxed pace, but there is still plenty to see and do with live bands on the street, pristine landscape drives featuring iconic history landmarks, and world class wineries.
