Kiama Sounds of Jazz & Blues 2026

The music is still playing in Kiama! While the Kiama Jazz & Blues Festival takes a pause in 2026, the spirit of the weekend lives on with a community-led celebration of live music across town from Friday 6 to Sunday 8 March.

Across the weekend, local venues will come alive with smooth jazz, soulful blues, and great vibes as businesses independently host live performances.

Expect an eclectic mix of gigs, intimate shows, and a buzzing atmosphere as the Kiama region comes together!

Council is supporting the weekend with a central gig guide and promotion, helping you plan your ultimate music trail. This is a weekend by the community, for the community – and it’s your chance to see local talent shine!

An event shuttle bus will be available Friday – Sunday to assist in venue hopping, sponsored by Kiama Business Network.

• Live jazz and blues across multiple local venues
• A town-wide music experience curated by Kiama businesses
